I did not mean for my post to come across that way, Paul. I meant it as just the mention of that date and mintmark together puts it into fantasyland right away. 

That's OK I didn't take it wrong LOL just thought it was a fake right from the start. Before I flipped it over to check the mint mark the color looked off to me. I'm not a big collector so I wanted to see how many here had seen one of these fakes.

   Per the Coin World Almanac, a U.S. silver dollar issued from 1840 through 1935 has an official weight of 26.73 grams with a legal tolerance of only 0.097 gram. A piece that is over 2 grams underweight isn't "close" at all.  

   I've been collecting coins for about 53 years now and have never owned a scale for weighing coins.  I've found it more important to learn what genuine pieces of various types and issues look like in detail.  Here are photos of a genuine uncirculated 1921 Morgan dollar graded MS 64 by NGC. Note the differences from your crude counterfeit in fine details, surface texture and luster on the obverse and the substantial differences in design details, including the parallel top arrow feather, on the reverse.

 

I was at my son's house and couldn't compare to the many morgan's in my own safe that I have had for more than 30 years. I knew it was fake when I saw the CC on a 1921. Just posted it to see if anyone else had run into one like it.

The Chinese are absolutely flooding the market with these. I don’t feel safe ordering any Morgan raw coin at this point. I will only by graded coins for this reason.

I only buy from trusted sources like APMEX etc. After getting burned on Ebay with some 2020 fakes.

As the CC Mint ended production in 1893, I'd would guess the the coin is counterfeit/fake or a fantasy copy. 

That's what clued me in first was the date was all wrong for a CC. I have seen fake 2020 Silver dollars also that were so close to weight but the type was fat.

Thanks for the info, looked fake to me because of the date but overall I would have been fooled if there was no mintmark. The coin weighs 24grn so it was close. 

Thanks , new to this and having trouble posting pictures. Re-posted at US/World under counterfeit.

Need help with this, sure looks fake due to the CC mark on a 1921. Looks to be BU condition. 

My son was given a 1921 Morgan dollar but I noticed it has a CC mint mark It weighs 24 grams. Has anyone else seen one?.
