Hello Everyone: I purchased these from an auction last year and had them posted on ebay for sale. A coin seller from Las Vegas sent me a message stating that these two coins looked fake to him. I immediately ended my ebay listing and am seeking your assistance. Thank you in advance. AJ   |

Yes, better pictures please.
It seems like the S MM's on both are extremely faint to non existent.

Check the weights (should be very close to 26.7 grams each) and confirm that they don't stick to a magnet. If they check out they are probably authentic 1921 dollars.
The S mintmark is very small on the 1921-S Morgan but should be clearly visible on these coins, unless they are actually Philadelphia coins.
We'll look forward to your new photos!

Looks like typical well-circulated 1921-S Morgan's to me. Both the "D" and the "S" mintmarks for that year are very small and sometimes faint.

They look fine to me. 1921 Morgans are practically bullion. If they are genuine silver, they are most likely genuine.

The coins look genuine to me. What is the weight? Did the person that called them counterfeit give a reason?

No reason given except that they looked fake to him. I am not sure how accurate my weighing scale is but both weigh 28 grams. I have a few other Morgans that I am confident are not fakes and they also weigh in at 28. So I think my scale is a bit off.

He is a coin seller out of Vegas with a 2000+ ebay rating, so I had to take the cautious side, de-list the coins and seek the assistance of experienced members on this forum. |

I do see something that is cause for concern on the second coin. There are only two berries above the N & E. There should be three berries. There was a 17 and 16 berry count wreath in the 1921 date. The second coin has a 15 berry count. I would have to question If the coin is genuine.
