1921 Morgan micro s?

Quick question... I have done some searching without much luck.

A friend has a 1921 Morgan that very clearly has a micro s mintmark. I remember hearing about some fake micro s dollars, I think. Could this be a real Morgan, or is it most likely a fake?

I don't have a picture at the moment but can post one first thing tomorrow morning.

Any help is appreciated, thank you

Sorry to say I don't feel comfortable judging anything without a proper photo. Hope to be able to further help once they are posted. Either way, I do not believe the Micro "S" variety, for that specific date, is a phenomenally rare variety. Also, it does not seem to be recognized by the Cherrypickers' Guide.

I was under the impression from Van Allen/ Mallis ( VAM) book that all 1921 -S morgans were of the (small)micro -S mintmark.

According to the 3rd edition of the Morgan Red book, all 1921-S Morgans are small/micro mint marks. And all the 1921-D are micro mint marks, too.

 

Aaaaahhh, so this is why it is unrecognized by Cherrypickers' Guide. Hahaha, it all makes sense now. Thanks for clearing that up.

As well as no distinction mentioned in Redbook either about micro s mintmarks on the 21s.

 

Ahh, ok. I did not know that, and did not have another 21-s to compare too. Thank you for the info!
