Great coins Paul.

Top left:

http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/bigpic.cgi?img=coins/./ric/hadrian/RIC_0161.jpg&ruler=./ric/hadrian/i.html

Bottom left:
Similar to the following, but not quite the same as your portrait is bare-headed rather than laureate:

http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/bigpic.cgi?img=coins/./ric/hadrian/RIC_0286.jpg&ruler=./ric/hadrian/i.html

Top right:

Again similar to the following, but bare-headed bust. The coin illustrated in the link is described as bare-headed, but is in fact laureate.

http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/bigpic.cgi?img=coins/./ric/hadrian/RIC_0267.jpg&ruler=./ric/hadrian/i.html

Bottom right:

Denarius of Elagabalus.
Obverse: IMP ANTONINVS AVG, laureate draped bust right.
Reverse: P.M.TR.P.II COS.II P.P.Pax advancing left holding sceptre and olive-branch.

Picture here:

http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/bigpic.cgi?img=coins/./ric/elagabalus/RIC_0021v.jpg&ruler=./ric/elagabalus/i.html

I've no idea about rarity sorry.
