I think you did well for the money. None of these appear at first glance to be anything but common coins, but some are in pretty good shape.
The first coin may not be completely attributable; however, it looks like an Alexandria Egypt Potin. The thickness is one of the neat things about these coins. If I had to guess, and it is a guess, I would say Numerian. Possibly something like this from my collection with yours having an Eagle reverse:
The second coin is a Valentinian with a GLORIA ROMANORVM reverse. I cannot make out the mintmark so I cannot give you an exact attribution. If you can read the letters at the bottom of the reverse, we can determine the mint and thus the attribution.
The third coin looks like Crispus, Trier RIC 372, AE3. IVL CRISPVS NOB CAES, laureate cuirassed bust left with shield and spear / BEATA TRANQVILLITAS, globe on altar inscribed VO/TIS/XX, 3 stars above. Mintmark dot STR dot.
I have to run to an appointment. If the rest have not been identified by my return, I'll finish what I can.
Regards,
