      For me it is the "trench" around the ear that struck me. The actual design of the ear is unchanged, but as the name suggests, it is recessed into a hollow. I am very poor at identifying all these varieties. Even "colon to gap" and "colon to tooth" often leaves me puzzling which I am looking at!

      Help me please - what exactly stood out ? I still can't see any significant differences in my own recessed and non-recessed coins.

      I agree - I find these very difficult to sport generally. I was fortunate this time that the next image was a 1916 in similar condition and the difference in the ears stood out, even to me! Here is the 1916:

      My 1887 Young Head Halfcrown Went Prooflike at NGC!

      Was that a proof? Wow, if ever to sell I need that venue! I bought a proof 1863 florin about 10-12 years ago from Baldwin's (basement?) for 1250, possibly a better piece - it graded proof 63+, subjective but probably accurate IMHO...

      I personally can never see much difference between recessed and non-recessed ear varieties.
