$40 Craigslist buy: Error Penny, Silver, 1800's Coin, Full Steps, Value??

Hey got back from a Craigslist buy today. Paid $40 for two metal coin boxes full of proof pennys and other small coins. Here are the interesting coins in the box. What do you think, worth $40?
1- 1964 Silver Half :headbang:
1- 1989 Canadian Loon Dolllar
6- Proof Full Step Nickels (56, 62, 63, 64,64,70)
1- 1 German Pfenning 1875B
1- 2 Pfenning 1876A
1- 1 1895A German Pfenning
1- 1950D 1 Pfenning
1- 1950D 5 Pfenning
(All the German coins are in great condition, very crisp details)
Finally a penny error, please help me with this one! Thanks guys!
I can upload more pics of all if you want, some reason I cant upload them at once :/

With just plain silver value you did OK.
The shipping is what will nock the value down on this one.

Redbook says anywhere from 8-5 bucks for the penny error. Page number is 407(2012 edition) under off center strikes category, The 3 dollar difference being between the zinc and Cu penny. HH.

Thanks guys! Two of the German coins have $15-30 written on the back of them. For $40 I figured I couldnt go wrong.

I think you got your moneys worth. I have those same type/condition German coins, if you find a good source online for their value, please post it.
