<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cookiemonster12, post: 1205683, member: 26614&quot;]Okay, so I found this 2002-S penny in a bank roll the other day. The coin in general confuses me. It&#039;s thicker, like most proof coins, but looks nothing like one. Without the &quot;S&quot; mintmark, it looks like a completely normal circulating cent. The shots I took of it don&#039;t show the luster exactly, but I put it next to a 2008 cent for comparison. My question is, if a proof coin stays in circulation long enough, will it look like a normally struck penny, or is there something else going on here? Thanks</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://imageshack.us/g/846/p6190159.jpg/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://imageshack.us/g/846/p6190159.jpg/" rel="nofollow">http://imageshack.us/g/846/p6190159.jpg/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
