The US didn't mint any circulating 1-dollar coins during that period. The only ones ever struck were a trial run of about 316,000 new Peace dollars made in 1964. They were struck in the same 90% silver alloy used previously, but were never released. All were supposedly melted when the price of silver increased and the coins became worth more than a dollar.

Were there any silver dollars made between 1935?
The last true silver dollars were made in 1935. That year marked the end of 90% silver dollars. The next silver dollars were made in 1971. These were Eisenhower dollars. They are not made of silver but rather of copper and nickel.
Was a silver dollar minted in 1956?
No. Peace Dollars ended in 1935 and Eisenhower dollars started in 1971.
When did the US stop making silver dollars out of silver?
The last year for silver silver dollars was 1935. There were no dollar coins minted again until 1971, by which time silver coinage had been replaced with copper and nickel.
Did they ever mint a 1959 silver dollar?
The United States last minted silver dollars in 1935, then reintroduced the large dollar in 1971. There are no dollars for any of the 1940s, '50s, or '60s.
1945 silver dollar?
There were no 1945 silver dollars minted. Silver dollars were last minted in 1935 (end of the Peace Dollar) and the same sized coins would later be resurrected with no precious metal content in 1971 as the Eisenhower Dollar.
