What sort of grading would you give this coin? is it rare?

[RLC35 288]

I would grade it VF. It is not rare, as 45,707,957 were minted. A nice example though.

I'd rate that around EF myself (or AEF) - but would need to see the obverse as wee Georgie's hair is the real decider. But no, not rare, and with only a small value.

behold the obverse, sos still got to get the hang of photographing coins!

I think I go with Peckris on this one. It's quite a soft strike by the look of it but doesn't seem to have too much wear. The obverse is usually more diagnostic but the photo was too fuzzy to see much.

Yes - the obverse photo is very 'woolly', but from what I can make out, there isn't any noticeable wear to the ear. I'd feel fairly confident grading it EF now I've (almost) seen the obverse. Put it this way, if it was a 1946 or 1949 in that grade you would be entitled to dance a happy jig! Sadly, 1937 is probably the commonest G.VI date to find in high grade - it was a brand new concept when it appeared and very many must have been put aside.

The 1937 3d looks to be the T of Three normal space to rim and the B of BR to corner variety
