In my opinion, this coin is a counterfeit. Check out this picture for comparison. The top image is that of a genuine 1921 Morgan. The bottom image is your coin. Look closely at the shape of the 9 in the date, and more specifically the shape of the inside of the loop of the 9.  If you have a gram scale, you can weigh your coin. It will almost certainly be underweight. A genuine Morgan weighs 26.73 grams. |

I'm no expert in morgans at all and I would never trust my advice, but the first thing I thought when I saw it was fake also. wait for others to chime in as well.

It falls into the tolerances of being genuine. It's a very common date. On the scale, there appears to be remaining luster.

I stand corrected. Not the first time I've been wrong. Won't be the last!   |

That scale appears to weigh to tenths, in which case 26.73 would show up as 26.8.
A new US nickel should weigh 5 grams, a clad quarter 5.67.
