One box produced:

1 1964
1 1987 D
1 2003 S non silver proof
1 40% Kennedy

Then at the coin return:
1 foreign coin, that I have not looked up yet.
1 1943 Steel Penny, my first one. Someone had stuck it beween the roof and side of the coin return. I pulled it right out like a bad tooth!

Got a couple of 74 D and 77 D to look at a little closer.

Nice going TW! Congrats of your first steel penny. I have never found one going through the few boxes of pennies I have searched. I love your analogy of pulling it out....lol. That was funny. Keep em coming....

That foreign coin is a 10 Halala piece from Saudi Arabia. (One of these: http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/coin.php?image=img1/154-46&desc=Saudi%20Arabia%20km46%2010%20Halala%20(AH1392)%201972)

Translating the Arabic numerals to Latin ones gives the year as AH1392 on the Islamic calendar, or AD1972 on the Gregorian one. (Handy-dandy numeral translator here: http://worldcoingallery.com/Inst-ID/Numerals.htm)

1972 Saudi Arabian 10 Halala... Nice find!
