Any thoughts on this Morgan? Could it be a counterfeit?   "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae

I don't see anything obvious to suggest a counterfeit. It might be a VAM-1F or -1CO.

Probably a later die state with a weak strike. I know they ran some of the 1921 morgan dies pretty far. I have a few examples that are extremely mushy in detail.

Could be the photography. Profile looks off (nose / lips / chin), hair has a "cast" look to it, olive leaves on the reverse seem small. As I said, it could be an artifact of the photography or, as some have suggested, a very tired die. Thanks!

Looks good to me, XF/harshly cleaned.

The obverse rim looks odd to me. Have you weighed the coin?

It just looks cleaned/polished to me.
