2003 S in roll of bank

[lincent]

I found this coin in a roll of bank. I have no idea how it was in the bank. The point is that this coin weighs 2.6 grams. I have not the slightest idea of ​​this type of coin. I would like to get opinions to give me light on this matter. Thanks.

I have been buying proof sets since 99..... From what I see -- the frosted strike with mirror-like field -- you have a loose proof...

I've found quite a few proofs in bank rolls. People get desperate and cash them in for face value. Presumably not collectors... more those that don't know that they are a special coin which creates one upset collector and a happy roll searcher. lol Nice find! :)

It's a coin from a proof set that someone spent.
It still looks decent for being found in a roll.

Nice to find them.

Yep, like the business guy said buy sets break them up and sell on ebay.

Never could do that.

Nice find

Thanks to the first opinions. Also I would like to know why weighs 2.6 grams.

2.5 grams is normal for a zinc cent...I wouldn't get excited over a .1g difference

Its a nice roll find but I'm thinking along the lines that the coin was stolen from some poor guy's collection and found its way to a bank..Crimes against us collectors happen all the time!! It's just my thought everytime I see a thread like this one.I once was a victim of my home being broken into and all my coins stolen.:(
