DDO-001 is relatively rare, an early die state would be a prize if gem red. <span style="color: slategray">If these phrases confuse you you would probably not be able to find the varieties unless you want spend some time, (and money) to learn what they are and how to tell them.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: royalblue"><span style="color: slategray"></span>It is now not a complete bag so the value would be in the eyes of the buyer if you find one. I would and have typically paid anywhere from $65 to $100 dollars for mint sewn bags such as you have before the ones were removed or if rolled a dollar to 2 dollars a roll if it was one I needed - 1966 would not be one I would reach very far for. A dealer will probably only go a little (very little) above face value for your coins.</span></p><p><span style="color: royalblue">Hope this helps,</span></p><p><span style="color: royalblue">Ben Peters</span> </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The bag was origanally a sewn Bag. It had already been open and tied with a cloth strap when it was given to me. At the time I got it, I was told by a dealer that it was only worth face value. I put it aside and did not really think about it until i saw a recent post. I pulled out some and made a gift to my 2 grandsons, who will most likely end up with my collections anyway.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I am not a coin expert, and I don&#039;t pretend to be, but i don&#039;t get confused, and i am a quick learner.
