<p>[QUOTE="alhenry92, post: 26138191, member: 31911"]Spotted a couple of 1921 Morgans on the bay, and one of them happens to look like an ACTUAL Brilliant AU 1921-P Morgan. The other is a 1921-S but it's putting off too many red flags to me as it the details on it look artificially "worn" (i.e.: Eagles chest and feathering) vs the areas where the mintmark is. Whole coin looks like a matte gray colored cheap casting over having the luster from being struck at the mint (which probably explains why it's listed for cheaper and the seller has a generic name vs the other).</p><p>What do you guys think?
