The 1st one is very pretty. I agree with high au. The only thing I would nitpick is that the obverse strike is slightly offcenter such that the denticles are hardly visible to the right and lower right. Very pleasing overall.  #2 has a hammered reverse strike but a bunch of detracting marks. #3 is well centered but the reverse is weakly struck. #1 is a good choice, but you always look out of the corner of your eye for slightly better.  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

#1 of course is higher grade, you will pay dearly for it, makes on holder correctly. I actually prefer #'s 2 & 3. For me in what I can afford, it seems harder to find nice circulated Shields in this shape, would make nice upgrades for me in mine, if affordable.  |

Crazy- 2&3 are definitely affordable depending on your budget. $60-80
I managed to get coin #1 for $80. I had purchased a nice one but photographs hid the scratches seen in hand.
Will take pictures of coin #1 and post them here for further grading opinions. Thanks all for help!!

#1 is, by far, my first choice. $80 is a really nice price, too.
