Thanks for the picture. Open the cylinder and the model should be stamped on the crane. If you post a partial serial # (1234XX) one of the experts will be able to date it.
Better pictures would aid in a price evaluation. You can also see what there selling for on GunBroker.

66-2 manufactured between 1982 and 1985.
A serial number (don't publish last three numbers, i.e. 1234XXX) with any letter prefix will help pinpoint better.

Welcome! Here is a post with information we need (including the SN as mentioned above):

Thanks! Now that I know what to look for I will check it all out and post it. If it was a Colt I could recognize it in a minute but I have never carried a Smith in my 38 years as a LEO. I am just curious as to its age and worth.
66-2
The gun I am asking about is a 66-2 with adjustable sights and the red insert in the front sight. It appears to be three screw to me and the serial number is ACC57XX. I will post a few more photos because I am thinking of trading it for a Kimber Ultra carry and I want to make sure it's a good deal.

If the left side is as nice as the right (
) and it is mechanically sound, $550-600 would be in the current value range.

It is likely from the spring of 1983.
Thanks everyone. It is a fairly pristine revolver but if it's only worth $550-600 I'll just hang on to it and put it back in the safe. I have seen blued guns like this one and other lesser quality on Gunbroker for around$800 so I'll just wait for a deal on one of the small Kimbers. I appreciate all the help from everyone.
Good decision, rdaniel! I would not make that trade either.
And just FYI - all the Model 66 revolvers had 3 screw frames. The fourth screw went away in c. 1962 and no stainless revolvers were made until 1965.
