First silver spill nothing spectacular. But a first for me. First silver GW quarter 1943, first silver rosies 1946 and 1959 and one crusty nickel.

I had a spill of 5 buffalo nickels once 45 years ago when I lived way up in Plattsburgh, NY, so they don’t come along that often! Congrats and go do it again (but don’t take 45 years)!

Great find! I've not got any silver spills yet. I did get one with a buff, 2 IHPs, and like some wheaties a month ago though.

Is that nickel maybe a war nickel? I've found them completely encapsulated in a crust of their own corrosion before. Usually, they are black, though, and a lot crustier than yours.
Awesome find, regardless. Just don't think I've ever seen a regular nickel presumably from the same era as your other coins trashed that badly.
Thanks for sharing.
