Why is poured silver more than non-poured at many places? Is it a gimmick or is there something more to the process?

Fun fact: Benjamin Franklin wrote a pamphlet encouraging the colonial population to support a paper money issuance. It worked and the colonial governments gave him the contract to print the notes!

Guy's, l think l bought a fake morgan dollar today for $25. I tried the ping test and compared it to my peace dollar l have and it has a higher pitch to it. Should l be worried?
I am not saying one way or the other but it seems to me like some of my constitutional of the same purity and denominations have different sounding pings but they still ring. Could be different alloys mixed with the silver? Maybe a difference in the reeds? I am not sure but just by sight they both look like silver. Should of seen the cast reichsmark some user posted a few days ago on here

That is because there was not centeral bank. It was only the goverment who printed it. Look at this user. youtu.be/UW2mVTlm7vw.youtu.be/OYnJCZudWS0. It cost more since it is hand poured, and usually made in smaller batches. It is like if you had a friend who makes their own silver bars with special logo for them. Of course it will be more expensive than those who pumps out thousands of bar a day. That is why it is held by people who are into designs.

On a second look the U in trust looks like a V TRVST, but I am not very familiar with those coins at all

I would think that places like Scottsdale Mint would have a way to assembly line pour their silver, no?
