Hello and welcome.

Your coin is, of course, from Germany. Germany had nine mints operating in 1876, and all 9 struck 50 pfennig coins in 1876, so in order to determine a value, you'll first have to find the mintmark. It's put pon the coin twice, on either side of the eagle's tail. Mintmark "A" (for Berlin) is the most common. Here's the NGC database entry for them.

The other major contributing component of value is the coin's condition. A Berlin-minted coin in pristine condition is worth more than the scarcest mintmark ("H" for Darmstadt) that's heavily worn.

For your other pieces, if you don't know what a coin is, or even if it really is a coin, post it in the Identification required subforum, preferably with pics.
