There were four types of United States Mint Proof Sets produced in 1992. The normal 1992-S Proof Set is worth approximately $6-$8. The Prestige set (with Olympic half and dollar) is worth approximately $70-$90. The regular Silver set is worth approximately $10-$15. The Silver Premier Set is worth approximately $10-$16.
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.
The $1 denomination is artificial. You have a bullion coin sold for its silver content rather than for spending. It's worth whatever the current price of silver is - as of 07/2008, about $18.
All circulating halves dated 1971 and later are made of copper-nickel, not silver, and are only worth 50 cents unless you have a proof or uncirculated specimen; these can be worth around $2. Starting in 1992 some proof halves were struck in 90% silver and sold as special "prestige" coins.
For the 1992 Kennedy half, only some Proof coins ( "S" mintmark ) were struck in 90% silver, they were issued in the Silver Proof and Silver Premier sets.
You have a 1oz Australian Kookaburra 99.99% Silver One Dollar coin with a diameter of 40.6 mm. Queen Elizabeth is on the obverse, a perched kookaburra with its head up on the reverse. It has a frosted design with a shiny background and was issued in a case by the Perth Mint as non-circulating legal tender. The Australian 1992 silver 1oz Kookaburra coin (Proof), in original condition and packaging, might fetch up to $45 AUD. There were 6,766 minted. Currently, these are not worth a lot more than what you paid for them. I suggest you keep them until the silver price improves. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation.
4 types of United States Mint Proof Sets were made in 1992. The clad 1992-S Proof set has a current retail value of $8. The Prestige set that has the Olympic half & dollar in it is $40.00. The regular silver set is $29.00. The silver Premier set is $31.
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.
1964 proof Kennedy halves are 90% silver, 68, 69, 70 proofs are 40%. The 3-piece Bicentennial silver proof & silver mint sets are 40% and 1992 to date silver sets are 90%.

Look at the coin again. 1992 was the first year for modern silver proof Washington quarters.
If you have the proof eagles in the Mint-issued plum-colored packaging, then the 1991 is worth about $40 and the 1992 is worth about $35AnswerIf it's a proof issue, it might sell for $40 or $50. If it's a standard bullion piece but not struck as a proof, it would be worth a bit more than the current spot price of one ounce of silver. That price changes daily, so you'd have to check it in the financial pages of your newspaper or on-line at a financial site like CNN Money (among many such sites).
