This Morgan Dollar seems to resemble the newly discovered 1878 S Specimen 2 me.
Any thoughts?

Not sure this coin is possibly stamped rotated and stamped a few times. It has partially mirrored surfaces. What appears to be damage in the photos is misleading. I assure this coin is an ms66 or higher by pcgs standards. I will get better photos on here

The coin is NOT a specimen it is a normal and toned Morgan Dollar with roller marks on the cheek. I specialize in Morgan dollars and this is not what you think. Could have some die rotation but would need to be graded or sent to an expert to determine that, as well as the grade.

Imaging a die rotation on coins:

:eureka:
If you hold your coin up to a mirror, and snap your image showing both the obverse and reverse simultaneously, it is much easier to use as an Internet image to determine any rotation.....
