CC Morgan Dollar

You can really see in the close-up that there is not a single denticle that received enough metal.

And, the 1921-only reverse on an 1893 was kinda conclusive.

That pretty much kills it, huh. At least they spelled everything right.

Ok, stupid is as stupid does, so here's one for the veterans to chuckle at...

In looking at the two photos provided by Hadleydog, my question is on the reverse. Forgive my terminology with this one, but on the right hand side branch, between the second and third set of leaves, I see two outside dots (olives, berries, whatever)on the fake, and on the original I only see one. Is this one of the contributing factors to a 1921 only reverse, or is this like this on all Morgans, and other things helped the experts come to this conclusion?

I'm sure there are a lot more, but this one stood out to me.

Just to let you guys know, I had it weighed. The fake CC dollar was a little on the light end. Even with a Good grade wroth of wear, it still was a little light. This is another way to detect fake morgans. I sure didn't know it had a 1921 reverse, though. Very interesting.
