You generally can't buy silver dollars or any older silver coins at a bank. Because the value of the coin greatly exceeds the face value of the coin, if someone wanted to deposit a silver dollar they would only give them $1 for it, when the coin is worth at least $30 in silver content. Because of this few people ever deposit silver coins and the ones that are deposited are bought by the bank employees as curiosities. The only "silver" dollars you might find at a bank are Eisenhower dollars, but these contain no silver and are sold for $1, but since many people keep them as curiosities, there are few banks that carry them in stock, but at some banks you might find a few. Some banks do sell silver proof sets and other collector coins, but the prices that they sell it for is much more than it would cost you to go to a coin shop and buy the exact same set for.
