Without examining the coin it is impossible to tell if it is genuine or not. But there are legitimate 1921-S (Morgan) dollar coins struck. If you have a Morgan dollar that has the same weight, dimensions and design as known legitimate coins (and the coin doesn't say COPY or REPLICA or anything like that on it), it is most likely genuine. 1921 is an incredibly common date for Morgan Dollars and most counterfeiters won't bother making deceptive counterfeits of it.

You can't. The Carson City mint only operated from 1870 to 1893. 1921 silver dollars were minted at Philadelphia (no mint mark), Denver (D) and San Francisco (S).
In 1921 two different dollars were made both dated 1921. The most common is a Morgan dollar, some do have D or S mintmarks on the back of the coin just above the word DOLLAR. The other coin is a PEACE dollar that has this word on the back of the coin and will NOT have any mintmarks.
If there is no mintmark it was made a Philadelphia. D means Denver and S means San Francisco.
The last Morgan was struck in 1921. This coin is an EISENHOWER dollar, unless it has a "S" mintmark it's just a big dollar coin. Just spend it.
