<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 523646, member: 4350&quot;]Actually,&nbsp; they minted 90% silver coinage into 1966.</p><p><br /></p><p>Silver coinage dated 1964 made of 90% silver was actually produced from January 1964 through April of 1966! According to Domestic and Foreign Coins Manufactured by Mints of the United States 1793-1980, published by the Department of the Treasury/Bureau of the Mint: &quot;Public Law 88-580, Sept. 3, 1964 authorized the Mint to inscribe the figure 1964 on all coins minted until adequate supplies were available. Public Law 89-81 repealed that legislation. Coins bearing the year 1964 were produced from Jan. 1964-Apr. 1966.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>So to say that they stopped minting silver coins in 1964 is not exactly true.&nbsp; Also,&nbsp; coins dated 1964 and earlier were not pure silver,&nbsp; they were a 90% silver alloy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
