From a quick look it looks genuine to me, but I am far from an expert on Morgans. It does look cleaned though.

An 1889 morgan would be an unlikely target for faking since they are a pretty common date.

Why do you think it may be a fake?

Hey Big Bill!
Bec It has 2 mm instead of 2,9 mm of thickness.
Oh, I was wrong it has about 2,9 mm... sorry)))

Thickness is not a standard used by the US Mint, only diameter and weight. Thickness is a function of striking pressure and can vary slightly on business strike coins.

The Chinese have NO PROBLEM faking common date Morgans; our shop has one right now. The key is they are not silver. If your dollar is close in weight then it is likely genuine. If it's lead like our common date fake it will be too light.

Looks good to me, I have had a lead "silver dollar" it was the right size and weight, it did not have a ring to it when droped on edge, also the conductivity was off on it-(non-distructive testing method that I have the tools for).
