It's a blazer. Thoughts on the grade would be very appreciated.

    Looks very nice but hard to say with your photos.

    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.

    Is the coin prooflike?

    The maximum grade would probably be MS-66. It’s hard to get anything higher unless it floats on water.

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

    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.

    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.

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

    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 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.

    Looks really nice, if nothing is hiding I would think 66/67.
