<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 436149, member: 12789&quot;]Actually the US Mint continued striking 1964 dated coinage into approximately 1966 to deplete it&#039;s silver stocks.&nbsp; That is why there is such enormous mintages on the 1964 dated coins.&nbsp; To offset hoarding, and bring some circulating coinage into circulation, the Mint struck tonnes of nickels that year - they were not being hoarded.&nbsp; An awful lot of 1964 dated silver coins left the bank and were immediately hoarded, which accounts for why it is still very common to find BU 1964 coinage.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is highly likely that OMS, off metal strikes happened on occasion.&nbsp; The 1965 dated silver coins are rare, but not nearly so as the 1964 dated clad coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
