What would you grade this 89 CC?

Obviously details due to the cleaning and hit on the cheek, however I am wondering what type of details would she grade at?

My guess is modern counterfeit.
In honor of the memory of Cpl. Michael E. Thompson
I'm no Morgan specialist even though I have a few but those letters look too perfect. As in the wear on the obverse doesn't seem to reflect the wear on the reverse. Is it fake? If it's real I'd say VF35 but the coin seems off, the hair detail looks too good. It's not in a holder and it's the CC key date.
Fake, looks wrong. Struck matte-like appearance. Compare hair detail for example to Heritage slabbed or other "legit" examples. Eagle breast off, then look at how well struck the rims are! On and on.....
Well, just Love coins, period.
Not a genuine 1889CC so no grade, will be in a body bag.

Not a guess- a modern counterfeit.
And the hit on the cheek makes it a damaged modern counterfeit.
Doesn't accept returns! I'd be very hesitant on bidding. Way too many fakes on the market.
The real question to ask is whether I can afford to lose $400+. If details grade doesn't bother you then go for an already certified details grade. There's several certified details VF under $1400.

✓ Everyman Mint State Lincoln Cents (1909 – 1958)
✓ Matte Proof Toned Lincoln Cents (1909 – 1916)
Counterfeit - the hair, lettering, mintmark, and especially the rim (12 o'clock on the reverse) all look way off
Why would he lose 400$? Ebay's refund policy is heavily weighted in favor of the buyer.

Doesn't match the known VAMs for mm location, etc:
Does match the bad 1881-CC reverse.
And the seller just ended the auction...
I contacted the seller, who sent the following reply:
“I had no idea. I am very sorry. I will end the auction. Please convey my apologies. Thank you very much.”

Don’t worry there is always itsy
Did you mean “Etsy” or were you speaking of the “Itsy Bitsy Spider” nursery rhyme?
