Anytime a coin is free, It is a good deal. Especially if it is silver.

how do I research a coin like this? Start with the link that us automatically created whenever you type Standing Liberty quarter. Then follow the links on that page.  |

Nice finds! I would keep all of them. Maybe these coins will remind you of the cool story or maybe spark an interest in coin collecting.

I suspect an old coin collector was seeding the next generation

 I've dropped well-worn steel cents, dateless Buffalo nickels, etc., around places people would be sure to notice them. Don't recall ever dropping a SLQ, however! |

I would keep all of these personally, and that Standing Liberty quarter (with a San Francisco mintmark) is very likely a 1917-1920 or 1923-1924 type-2 and would grade on the Sheldon scale from 1-70 about FR-2. |

Very interesting finds! The date is worn off the Standing Liberty quarter, but they were only produced for a few years (1916-1930). The value of the silver in the quarter is a bit over $4. The 1913-D Lincoln Wheat cent is not a particularly common date. Fewer than 16 million were produced. Might want to go back and look around some more — or maybe they were planted on purpose.

I would just spend the cents, since value above face is nil. The quarter is a bit under silver melt. But free finds.

Unless you already have one in better condition, despite its big scratch that 1913D cent is a keeper in my book. You are very unlikely to ever find another in circulation. I think I've found just one 1913D cent in my life, and that find came a long time ago.

Probably thrown away by Extraterrestrials as they were getting out of their space craft ; these are too beat for my collection . I'll just give them back to the Earthlings .  |

Were you parked near a coin shop? That was my first thought as well  Great finds, and keepers - all of them. 2x2 worthy and the story behind them on how you found them. |
