NEWLY FOUND BRANCH MINT PROOF??

Barucci911

I picked this up from an old timer a couple days ago, the coin immediately stood out to me, sharpest 1887-S details I have ever seen, odd luster, hammered rims..I truly do believe that this is a Branch mint Proof or specimen !!!. What do you guys think?? Posted a pic of a side by side a side by side with a Pcgs MS63 1887-S... this coin weighs what it should and passes the ring test, this is not a counterfeit.

Looks like a normal Morgan to me but I am not well versed in that area. Hope you find what your looking for.
