My godfather gave me some holed coins some years ago, he got them as a bracelet in a jewellery lot.

They include a medieval penny in EF condition, a German thaler in VF, and some other coins.

I'd like to sell them, probably on ebay.

What percentage of an unholed retail price should I expect to get or aim at ?

Does the percentage go up for very rare coins ?

Alternatively, if you decided to buy a holed coin to fill a space you couldn't afford to buy unholed; say the coin would cost $1,000 how much would you pay for a) a hole in the detail b) a hole in the field ?

If they are common; they take a huge hit in price. If they are rare then they still have value.

Although they are scarcer, small U.S. silver coins of the 19th century is almost as easy to find as their equivalent that are not holed.
I usually find such pieces in dealer's junk bins.
Unfortunately, most of their value is lost, because they have been irreparably damaged.

I have observed that larger U.S. silver is less often found holed. I guess that the reason for this is that the smaller coins more easily lend themselves for use in home craft silver jewelry.

That does not stop me from collecting them, however. At least, you can add such pieces to your collection for very little money, and therein lies their attraction.

For me, I would pay about 20% of the price that an equivalent unholed coin in the same condition may be worth.
