Almost all UNC 1938-D Buffs come in at MS-65 or MS-66, with a slight nod to MS-66.
They were saved in bag quantities, and whole bags were readily available at shows in the 1960s. The bags vanished when collectors descended on them to find the RPM and OMM varieties.
That said, any UNC 1938-D that has matching EDS die states, is well struck, and has minimal clashing and die polishing is really scarce, regardless of technical grade. Coins checking all these boxes will sell quickly, and bring at least double Greysheet.
