1921 is the only year Morgan dollars were struck at the Denver Mint. No other dates could have a "D" mintmark. All 1921-D Morgan's have a tiny or "micro" mintmark.

What is a 1922 k silver dollar?

1922 dollars were struck only at Philadelphia (no mint mark), Denver (D) and San Francisco (S). All are worth about $15. The U.S. has never had a "K" mint mark. My guess is that you're seeing the designer's monogram or some other marking.

Yes, you can. If you have a large silver dollar don't use it. These are worth around $32. Smaller silver dollars such as Susan B. Anthony dollars are the ones you want to spend. Any Presidential gold dollars, Sacajawea dollars, and Eisenhower dollars are also legal to spend.

1884 makes it a Morgan dollar, so the mint mark is located on the back, just above the letters "do" in the word "dollar." No mark is Philadelphia, S is San Francisco, O is New Orleans, CC is Carson City, and D is Denver (1921 only).

What is the history of a 1921-O Morgan dollar?

I am not aware of a 1921 Morgan Dollar that carries a mint mark of "O." However, the 1921 series do carry mint marks of "D'" and "S." However, what is interseting about the 1921 Morgan Dollars is that they were produced by the US mint after a hiatus of 17 years - secondary to the The Pittman Act that required that all silver dollars be melted. More info - There could not be a 1921-O dollar because the New Orleans mint closed in 1909. 1921 was the only year that Morgan dollars were struck in Denver, because the Denver mint opened in 1906, two years into that hiatus.
