Those issued through the end of the 1960s were hoarded as the only precious metal U.S. coins remaining in production, and as the price of silver continued to rise, pre-1964 halves disappeared from circulation as well.

"What year did the U.S. Treasury stop minting"" pure"" silver coins?" They stopped making silver dollars for general circulation in 1935 (Minted 1,960K) because the silver was worth more than a dollar.

They still come out every yea and cost a lot more than a dollar because they are an ounce in weight and silver is worth much more than that and there are lots of people who like collecting them.
