Deceptively Real??? or NOT?

What is not to like about this dollar? In spite of the slightly blurred reverse pics it sure does look great.
And then: oh, what do I see with those breast feathers??? Is that the reverse of 21?? I'm I seeing
this correctly? I've looked at this coin for the past hour and still am stuck on NOT! What say you?

  • At first I thought counterfeit, but now I'm doubting myself. The CC mintmark is a little funky, but still rather realistic. The only thing that really raises a red flag for me is the exceptional state of preservation. The coin seems almost entirely flawless, except for a few curious tics that appear to be applied intentionally.

    Editted to add: the reverse does not appear to be that of 1921.

    It all checks out fine, it just "looks" a little odd.

    GEN, thank you, thank you and thank you! I thought I was seeing something into the coin that was not there
    or, shouldn't be there, or.....well thanks for the validation that I'm not losing it!

  • Also, the coin has dull, grainy luster, ypical of the modern counterfeit Morgans.

    A coin like that should've been in a holder years ago. And then marketed through a large auction house.

    Watch out!

    I don't like it, and hence would never bid on it (if I were to bid on such a coin on Ebay, which I don't). It doesn't look right, and it also looks photoshopped all to he!!.
  • I agree the color and texture looks strange.

    Luster looks flat, but could be the lighting...I do think it's real.
