Is This 1921 Morgan Cleaned?

I don't collect Morgans, but Liberty's shimmer leads me to believe the coin was polished or whizzed. Or do all the '21 Morgans look like this? Also, I've posted a closeup from a section of the reverse; certainly looks like some kind of polishing/whizzing action was applied.

    That's been buffed and polished. Now worth maybe $7.

    That is a great example of a polished coin, probably done with a jewelry rag. On a whizzer the whole coin will look like that.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.
