The mint did not make any proof coins in 1965, 66, or 67. "Special Mint Sets" with high-quality circulation strikes were produced instead. The dimes and quarters in them were made of cupronickel, not silver, and the half dollar was struck in low-purity 40% silver.
NO US proof sets were made in 1965-1967 but they did make Special Mint Sets the coins in these sets do have some proof like details. Current retail value for a 1965 set is $8.00 issue price was $4.00
The U.S. did not produce any proof coins in 1965, 66 or 67. The Mint issued Special Mint Sets (SMS) instead of proof sets. Current value of a 1965 SMS is $11.00 retail.
All US Proof sets of 1964 and before have silver coins in them, the current value of a 1959 set is $28.00.
Need to know if "sets" are Mint issue Proof or Uncirculated sets, please post new question.
The value depends on the actual grade of the coin. Most are 25 cents to $1.75. NOTE: All 1964 proof sets contain 90% silver half dollars, quarters and dimes.
Proof sets were not made in 1965, but a 1965 special mint set is worth $12.00 USD.

Numismedia lists the value around $7 dollars for clad(non-silver) and $65 for silver proof sets as of a 5/2012.

It depends on your preference. A silver proof set contains coins made of 90% silver, while a regular proof set does not. Silver proof sets tend to have a higher intrinsic value due to the silver content, but they may also come at a higher cost compared to regular proof sets.

1965-69 : Made of debased 40% silver, worth about $2.00-2.50 for the silver in them. 1970 : Sold only in Mint and Proof sets 1971-present : made entirely of copper-nickel so no extra value unless in Uncirculated condition.
Dimes dated 1964 and prior are 90% silver. Dimes dated 1965-present that are intended for circulation contain no silver. From 1992-present the US has made silver proof sets which contain a 90% silver dime along with 90% silver quarters and half dollars. Keep in mind though that it is only the silver proof set that contains silver, the normal proof sets do not (unless the coin intended for circulation had silver)
No US quarters dated 1966 are silver. The only US quarters struck in silver are dated 1964 or before with the exception of silver proof sets (most proof sets are -not- silver and silver proof sets are marked as silver) but those are dated from 1992-present.
Actually it's the first year for 90% silver Proof quarters. The Mint started making silver proof sets in 1992, the Half dollar, Quarter and Dime are struck in the Pre-1965 standards.
