I got it Ive been after this baby for a while. I read a little about Zerbe and Chatman proofs online line, but this being the first and only Morgan dollar I've ever seen in person, it is difficult to tell what is "sharp details" And "mirrored surface" not having something to compare to it. It has a type two reverse with 16 berries. The obverse side is very bright and reflective and seems to match what I imagine a proof dollar ought to. However the reverse is still bright and all details clear it doesn't have the reflective eye appeal of the other side. I know there are a bunch of varities for this coin, id just like to zero in on which particular this is. I'm posting for now a picture of the front and back, please just let me know if you wanna see any close ups of any particular area. BTW I love this site I dont post much but what I read here I find more helpfull info on this site than others. Thanks guys |

I am not a Morgan dollar expert but this looks to me like it might be a counterfeit. |

I've moved this to a more appropriate home.
I don't see any reason to doubt the coin's authenticity. 1921's are common, and this one looks polished rather heavily but otherwise authentic. It circulated prior to the polishing; the technical grade would be in the XF-AU range.

Thanks everybody. the poliishing makes sense considering when I got it it was set in a belt buckle. I traded it for a 2gb SD memory card and two AA batteries so I feel I did ok. heres the reverse in whole.  |
