I've bought a 1921 Morgan dollar on ebay a couple of days ago. The size (38.1mm x 3mm) and weight (26.7g) are ok, however the coin itself has a matt surface and doesn't seem to be as flat as on the other solver coins that I have. Could you please advise if it is a fake coin?    |

It looks like the real deal to me. The '21 dies were not prepared the same way previous Morgan issues were (they were not basined)so the 21's surfaces will appear slightly different. to CCF! Edited by dave700x

Definitely genuine - not a rare enough coin to fake and all the details match

My goodness, the Chinese have gotten better with fakes. With those images, it would very easily fool a newbie's eye if on ebay without a mention that it's fake. Now nobody can say that it isn't worth to fake 1921 Morgans. Even if they are selling them as a reproduction, they are still making money out of it. What are they going to fake next, Shield cents?  |

Looks authentic to me. This is one of the most common Morgans out there so it would not be worth it to fake.
