Definitely keep the first coin, as stated, it is an SLQ, it is 90% silver.

The '13-D cent, though damaged, might carry a small premium.

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

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.
