The coin is definitely high in silver content and weighs out correctly, but the entire cast is raised more than most of my morgans. Everything seems raised higher giving it alot more depth than a 1921 AU. I agree that it seems a little "mushy", and yet I dont know what to make of it. It definitely has a good bit of age on it. I am attaching 2 more pictures here for comparison. One is a 1921 AU and the other is an 1898-S. The 1898-S is definitely genuine and has the closest visual similarities to the Carson City that I could find on the quick. Notice that it also appears a bit mushy and more raised. Notice particularly the "In God We Trust" on both coins for a reference. They look much more mushy than on the 1921. Also notice the 2 "flowers" (maybe its cotton) on Lady libertys head to the right of the "LIBERTY" crown and see that they both look almost the same on the two older coins but entirely different from the 1921. The Carson City in the middle coin in both comparisons. I'm inclined to think its genuine, but am certainly no expert. Any other opinions?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]92405.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]92406.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
