Luster is very difficult to show in an image but I will try and say it's at least a 66. It would have to go 67 to make it worth slabbing. I have a very similar 1937 that I'm considering for submission.

The maximum grade would probably be MS-66. It’s hard to get anything higher unless it floats on water.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
It's got the lustre of a gem grade. That said, the 1st and 3rd obverse photos make it look like it may be a bit hazy. Depending on what is causing that could affect the grade.

I have some coins I need to submit, just leery of shipping them right now. And there are no major upcoming shows in my state where I can submit, so it might be awhile.
There should be no problem with shipping. It's very unlikely they'd get lost and an even smaller chance they'd be stolen. I worked for the Post Office for 33 years and I can tell you that theft is extremely rare. If you still have any concerns send 'em registered and insured. That will take longer but it's very secure.

I'll guess 66.
Is the coin prooflike?

Although the pictures have significant glare, looking at them, I would say MS66 if nothing is hidden by said glare....Cheers, RickO

Here are a couple more pics without so much glare.
I'm thinking it has a shot at 67.
It looks to be devoid of marks but the luster would have to be exceptional to garner a 67 grade.
That was my first thought.

It is actually pretty frosty. Not terribly reflective. No haze either, just frost.

I would guess MS66, as well.

Your coin is a 67 or + and I am comparing it to my 67.5 Proof. But at this level, it is very hard to grade from pictures.
OINK
Looks really nice, if nothing is hiding I would think 66/67.
Collector, occasional seller
Dreamers....my op is 65.
