Mid 50's Coin Spill = First Silver Half

Found this four coin spill yesterday giving me my first silver half. With three of the coins being 1956, it must have been dropped around that time.

I found this 1908 V Nickel at the same site a couple weeks ago.

That Franklin looked good coming out of the dirt I bet. Looks like you almost got yourself a silver War Nickle. I can't see the date but you were close I bet.
Congrats!

Congrats!

The nickel is a 56! A war nickel would have been cool, making it an all silver spill.
