Best Answer

The last year silver dollars were minted for circulation was 1935.

However, the last year any traditional silver dollars were made is 1964. Under pressure from the silver lobby and the gaming industry and with the support of President Johnson, the Denver Mint made a trial run of about 310,000 Peace dollars in 1964.

But by the time the coins were ready for release the price of silver had skyrocketed and the coins were worth more than $1 for their metal content. They were all ordered to be melted, although rumors persist that a handful were surreptitiously removed from a bin and saved.
