There were no dollar coins produced in the United States after the last Peace dollar was produced in 1935 until the Eisenhower dollar began production in 1971.

Silver was no longer used for coins in general circulation after 1964 - copper-nickel clad coinage began in 1965. The exception was Kennedy half dollars, which were 40% silver (down from 90% in 1964) between 1965 and 1970.

Eisenhower dollars were produced in both clad (for circulation) and 40% silver (for collectors) between 1971 and 1976. Quarters and half dollars were produced in 40% silver for collectors in silver in 1976. Dimes, quarters and half dollars were produced in 90% silver for collectors from 1992 onward

Anthony dollars were made of copper-nickel. Current Sacagawea and Presidential Series dollars are made of manganese-brass.

What year did the San Francisco mint stop minting coins for circulation?

1964 was the last date of silver quarters. There are a couple of technicalities here. First, quarters were never pure silver. The silver was always alloyed with about 10% copper. Second, during the changeover to cupronickel clad coinage, silver quarters were struck during calendar 1965 but they still had the date 1964, so there's no way to tell what year a "1964" quarter was actually minted. 1964 was the last year the US produced silver quarters for circulation. There have been silver quarters issued since 1964 but they were primarily special coins for collectors and investors.
