I need some help on Chinese ancients... Please!

Amongst a collection that I am evaluating is a bag of Chinese ancient coins, with smaller bags holding anywhere from 2 to a couple of dozen pieces.
This stuff means nothing to me - as I have no knowledge of them - what I do know is that the coins have been passed down from the father to the son (who is in his 70's now), so I know that they are not modern reproductions...
For those who know - here are three types (of many) listed below:
Sheng Sung 1100 AD
Hsuan Hi 1119-25 AD
Pao Yuan 1038 AD both square hole and round hole (marked as "rare")
From what I've seen these range in the VG to XF range. I see coins like these on Ebay in the $1.00 to $10.00 range, but I don't know if those prices are low because of high shipping costs from China... Can anyone give me any input?
I'm at a loss.

Save for a few better pieces, they are mostly in line with what you have seen for common material.
