#1 is a cast cash from the Qian Long emperor (1736-1795), Board of Works mint, Beijing.
#2 and #3 are machine-struck cash coins from Guangdong (Kwangtung) province. I believe #2 is from the late 1800s, while #3 is the final type from the early 1900s.

Thanks Sap I really appreciate you taking the time to help! I only have a few of the Krause catalogs and after staring at the sections on China for a while decided I'd rather rely on the knowledge of the members here. LOL!
