      That (and several ones like it) are AI generated slop and have no connection to the reality that silver was too expensive and too useful in industry to make coins of.

      The recessed ear is a three-dimensional phenomenon, but most photographs are taken from directly above. With a coin in the hand I'm sure we all look from a variety of angles without thinking about it. With the images above I purposely used an angle to help accentuate the contours. It might be interesting to look at a similar view of a near uncirculated coin. Not to be found in my collection sadly!

      While surfing YouTube I came across the post titled " Why They Stopped Making Silver Coins in 1964. The Real Reason They Hide". makes interesting viewing on how the US stole the silver from the people as did the UK earlier.

      Does this British 1745 LIMA Half Crown Look Authentic?

      By Halfcrowned · Posted

      I'm fairly new to coins, and the only reason I ask is because the size of this in hand is a bit bigger than my other half crowns of the period, which all seem to be around 32-33mm. It seems to sit at around 34-34.5mm. It weighs 15/16grams on my (cheap!) kitchen scales, is non magnetic, and has the correct side inscription - DECVS ET TVTAMEN ANNO REGNI DECIMO NONO.

      It's not the thinness - it's the recessed area as you say. On the left coin you can clearly see a hollow surrounding the ear which is absent on the Unc example.
