Historic Perspective:
 
The Legacy of the 1965–1967 No-Mintmark Era 
 
The 1965–1967 coins are prized for their context and story. During a time when coin hoarding was driven by the rise in silver prices, these coins illustrate a unique historical moment when coinage policy pivoted in real time to meet economic pressures.
 
The Coinage Act of 1965 
 
The removal of mint marks from U.S. coins between 1965 and 1967 was a calculated response to a financial and operational crisis of poor planning and logistics. Among its provisions, the U.S. Mint began producing copper-nickel clad dimes and quarters in 1965 before removing silver from those denominations altogether. The silver content in half dollars was reduced from 90% to 40%, a transitional step toward eventually phasing silver out of circulating coins.
 
The Coinage Act of 1965 - was the legislative response to the growing crisis in U.S. coin circulation. Coins were sitting in mint warehouses because their silver value had increased so much. This Act was designed to stabilize the coin supply, lower production costs, and discourage speculative collecting. The removal of mint marks from U.S. coins between 1965 and 1967 was a calculated response to a financial and operational crisis.
