Number 2 is a Half groat or Threepence of Elizabeth i from 1569, coronet mint mark
Number 3 is an Edward I penny, London mint

Nice coins :)

The second one is a threepence, there are no dates on half groats

Sorry, but I disagree with two of your IDs Ben.

The first one is a voided short cross cut halfpenny, London mint, struck in the reign of John. The class appears to be 5b and the moneyer's name looks like it ends in a 'D', and most probably is Ricard.

The second one is a Lizzie sixpence 1569 not a threepence.

The third one is indeed an Edward I penny, London mint, class 3g or thereabouts.

Sorry forgot to say, the mintmark on the Lizzie is castle not coronet.
