I would go a notch higher: VF-20, with what looks like original surfaces and no damage. No-problem 1889-CC Morgans are very scarce in circulated grades. Heritage has sold quite a few cleaned/damaged/tooled examples with VF detail in the $500-$800 range lately. Assuming your coin is real and was graded VF-20 in, say, PCGS plastic, it would probably fetch $1000 or more.
I'd definitely have it graded.
