The U.S. does not have a "M" mintmark. Look at the coin again and post new question.
There's no such coin. The Morgan design was used on most 1921 silver $1 coins, while half dollars from that time carried A. A. Weinman's famous walking Liberty image.

There are Morgan dollars and Peace dollars but they're not the same coin. Morgan dollars were minted from 1878 to 1904 and in 1921. A 1922 dollar is a Peace dollar. It's also the most common date. Circulated coins run from $32.00-$37.00 depending on the mint mark ( if any ) and condition of the coin.
In 1921, the US Treasury minted both a Morgan and Peace Silver Dollar. Which type do you possess? Please provide to me the mint mark, mint state, and the type of coin, and I will subsequently relay to you its worth. Also, NO U.S. circulating coin is pure silver. Silver is too soft by itself, and is always alloyed with copper. Silver dollars minted in 1935 and before are 10% copper. it is a Morgan dollar, no mint mark

Your coin is normally called a Morgan dollar after its designer George Morgan. The mint mark position on all Morgan dollars is above the DO in ONE DOLLAR. None = Philadelphia S = San Francisco O = New Orleans CC = Carson City D = Denver (1921 date only)
If the coin has one, it's on the reverse above the letters DO in DOLLAR.
Remember that CC is just one possible mint mark on a silver dollar. It could have an S (San Francisco), O (New Orleans), D (Denver, 1921 and later), or no mint mark if it was struck in Philadelphia. > On a Seated Liberty dollar (up to 1873) the mint mark is below the eagle on the coin's reverse. > On a Morgan dollar (1878-1921) the mint mark is below the wreath and above the letter O in "ONE"
The "grade" of a coin describes the wear and tear the coin has. Coins that are worn, scratched and dinged up have a lower "grade" than uncirculated, pristine examples. Coin grading ranges from poor (an unidentifiable coin, or a coin identifiable only because it is a 1 year type), to mint state (a coin that is nearly untouched). Generally, coins are graded by various "third party graders" such as NGC and PCGS which charge a fee and state their opinion of the coin. The mintmark of a Morgan dollar is found on the back of the coin under the wreath. It is possible for a Morgan dollar not to have a mintmark, in which case the coin was minted at the Philadelphia mint. However, unless the coin grades exceptionally high by a third party grader, most 1921 Morgan dollars are sold for a little more than the bullion value of the silver because they are exceptionally common and silver is near historic highs. Today a 1921 Morgan dollar in average shape might be worth anywhere from $28-35.
