awesome score, your next purchase needs to be a coin book, perhaps charlton or canadian coin news, to get some ideas of numismatic value as opposed to melt value,, I conservatively think you may have a 3 bagger, the 1932, will pay for all your coins, plus some, the 1911 half is a semi key-25$, the nice 1894 quarter is 45$, 1931 half is 20$, the 1937 and 1938 half is 10$ each.. you did very well, if the shop you bought from is a pawn store or gold buyer, keep going back there.. get yourself some coin knowledge, you may have tapped a goldmine..

Anything below melt is a deal. Although some of the coins you picked up turned out to be decent, it's kind of lucky. It's few and far between that a coin dealer would overlook those, so I'm curious to know if it was a pawnshop or the like?
Perhaps instead of dropping $100+ randomly in the future, spend a few bucks and get a couple reference books. They give ball park ideas on what's a good deal or not.
Sometimes the most valuable thing in a coin shop is knowledge. Even if you're just picking up junk silver, you'd get an idea what to look for.

Just bought the Charlton book numismatic guide and I am hooked with it. So many varieties and things to look for.
This is my first major purchase and I believe I was just plain lucky.

Money well spent!
Anything you need to know that's not in the book is just a few posts away.
