Where would this 1889 Carson City Morgan grade at?

Seems like it has some good meat on the bone still with quite a few details in the hair on the observe and feathers on the eagles breast being present as well, although some wear on the reverse.
I always have a hard time grading circulated morgans like these, more experienced morgan collectors, what do you think this puppy will grade at?

    Coin looks extremely suspicious for authenticity.

    I would grade it in a garbage can...

    Body Bag is what it would grade at.

    It's gone; but, even without seeing it, I would have bet that it was counterfeit. It's another of those coins that's worth so much more certified by a reputable TPG that there's no legitimate reason to sell a raw 1889-CC Morgan dollar on eBay.

    Obviously wouldn't pass the grade B) ...

    Because you don’t want your friends to see you holding it, or because that’s where you’d leave it? :D

    Having fun while switching things up and focusing on a next level PCGS slabbed 1950+ type set, while still looking for great examples for the 7070.

    Yes.
