During a recent church fundraiser, a yard sale, we were given an entire storage unit of odds and ends. In that cache, was a box of old, loved, Barbie dolls. I am trying to get the most out of this gift, and am wondering if anyone can give me any tell-tale signs of the ones that collector's are willing to give top dollar for. None of these are in the original boxes.

I understand that the date that's stamped on the rear end is the date of the specific mold, and "1966" could go well into this century.

Thanks for any help you may be able to offer.

You're in luck. There's a Barbie collector guide that lists history of the various dolls and value. I'll post a link after I find it. Your library has it or can get it for you. (The library also has a book or two, or can get those books for you, that tells you how and where to sell such things.)
