Thanks coinkat! I bought them because they looked cool especially the dragon one. But then trying to look them up in Krause was driving me insane

I concur. The fatman dollar is dated 1920. #2 is indeed 1908. #3 is undated but I think 1927 is right.

The fatman, by the way, is Yuan Shikai, first president of the ROC, among other things. He was quite the colorful character.
