I'm not sure if your comment about the magnet sticking was it did or it didn't. You may need to use a powerful earth magnet, not a refrigerator magnet. The counterfeit Morgans I see slam hard into my earth magnet. There is no way the Chinese would waste silver on a counterfeit coin. At least not the ones I've seen and I've seen hundreds. They walk into my shop all the time. Most of the fake Morgan's I see weigh around 21 through 24 grams. I've had heavily worn Morgans & Peace dollars that weighed 22 through 24 grams. But a nice strike would never weigh this low unless, like SteveCaruso said, it was struck on the wrong planchet. And how common would that be? Also, she looks fake too.
