[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 129901, member: 66"]The coinage act of 1965 may have technicaly superceed the 1964 date freeze but it also modified the revised statutes to make the date freeze permanent for 90% silver coins. (Sec 204) "Any coins minted after the enactment of the Coinage Act of 1965 from 900 fine coinage silver shall be inscribed with the date 1964." It also put a limit on how long the mint could strike the 1964 coins. (Sec 101(b)) Half dollars, quarter dollars, and dimes may be minted from 900 fine coin silver only until such date as the Sec of the Treasury determines that adequate supplies of the coins authorized by this Act are available, and in no event later than five years after the date of enactment of this Act. So in short Sec 101 permitted them to continue making silver coins for up to five years, and Sec 204 required them to be dated 1964.[/QUOTE]
