hi,bought this 1937 coin set from a dealer;your thoughts,how would u grade this one ,your opinion please

[Sword]

Welcome to the forum and happy 2017.

Can't be certain with regard to grades from your photos. Looks like VF to NEF for the silvers, penny looks to be aUNC.

There is no right or wrong way to start collecting and the initial purchases depend a lot on one's budget. Buying a starter set like this is perfectly fine (providing it was reasonably cheap) if just to get an idea of the denominations you might like to focus on in the future. But I would advise not buying many more such "sets" as they were put together by dealers using coins that are difficult to sell individually. E.g. GVF is not a very collectable condition for a 1937. Better off spending £20 or £30 on a real UNC coin instead in my view.

And if you are changing your mind regularly about what you want, might be it is better to do more reading / research on the internet before buying more. Otherwise, you will accumulate a number of coins you won't want to keep later on.
