Nice coin. Few marks on the cheek, but that is normal.
I like the Morgan dollars.

It's above the "DO" of dollar on the reverse.
In this case it is "O"

The Morgan Dollar is one of the most counterfeited coins in the World, The surfaces of your coin give me cause for concern.
What is the weight of your coin and have you done a magnet test on it?

The mintmark of these silver coin is letter o showing on reverse side position is common piece to be honest

These silver coin is absolutely authentic piece because of shining luster surface with some bad mark appearance for the weight is near to tweenty seven grams there

I wasn't aware of them being commonly faked
I thought the trade dollars were though

Google "Fake coin" and invariably a Morgan Dollar will appear :ok:

There are fake of morgan dollars produced in foreign countries and can be detected easily from the surface

Thank you for your participation there

Here are two Morgan Dollars,
these were part of a bulk world coins lot I was given several years back. One is a fake, which one? The thing that surprised me most was, why would the person who had these coins have a fake one.
I'll never know because he is no longer living & that's how I come by this box of world coins.
If you drop both of these coins on a hard surface one goes CLINK the other goes CLUNK.

One of those is a "Seated Liberty Dollar" and the other is a Morgan dollar.
Morgan dollars where made in 1921. As the seated dollar is a low mintage
I'm guessing that is the fake.
