Well, the grainy surfaces give it away mostly.

Yeah, using a reverse that wasn't designed until 31 years after the date on the obverse is a pretty good clue that your Morgan is a counterfeit.

Do I see a CC Morgan?

By CC, of course, I mean "Cast Counterfeit"

Oddly enough, one usually sees this 1921 reverse on Carson City fakes. That may be just due to their greater value when counterfeited though.
