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.
