Please post a new question with the coin's country of origin. The US didn't mint any $1 coins in 1982. And in any case the last US $1 coins that really contained silver were minted back in 1935.
In the 1960's, the US stopped making silver coins because of the value of the metal. For example, a silver dime's silver value is worth $2 and a silver quarter is $6. Silver dollars are worth $30. The U.S. was wasting a lot of money in silver coins and the silver value was rapidly increasing, so they had to stop. Another reason would be that people took the coins, melted it and sold it to a cash-for-gold type company. Also, they would ship or smuggle them to foreign countries which is illegal.
