In terms of availability, strong strike and luster, the 1937 is an average 1930s Philadelphia Mint Walking Liberty Half Dollar. Mint State examples of the 1937 Walker are plentiful; and circulated coins are basically obsolete. MS60 through MS66 are very common and MS67s are slightly tougher but pieces see the market quite often. MS68s are rare as just a handful exist.
