    1969. That was the last year circulation strikes were made for 40% silver halves. The 1970-D, in the last year of 40% silver halves, was issued only in mint sets.

    Aside from the 1870-S half dime and coinage minted after he stopped collecting, what was the one regular/proof issue coin missing from the Eliasberg collection? [hint: it wasn't a very expensive coin]

    ziggy29,

    You're pretty good. Most people answer either 1964 or 1970.

    1900 -- Lafayette Dollar. Though it should be noted that it's dated 1900 but minted in 1899.
