Collects82 Pillar of the Community United States 1316 Posts	Posted 10/25/2015 3:23 pm I felt the obverse was a weak strike, also noticed some markings on the buffalo's shoulder. If it gets an MS, maybe a 62. Seems to have good color and luster to it for eye appeal. Have you examined the mint mark up close for and RPM? 1938 D has a few.

srs77 Pillar of the Community United States 3224 Posts	Posted 10/26/2015 11:53 am Here's my PCGS Graded 1938 D/D Graded 65 for comparison. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinguy1986 Valued Member United States 305 Posts	Posted 10/26/2015 2:06 pm It seems that on average NNC graded coins are about 2-4 points overgraded !! So nnc ms67 would probably go ms63-64 at a legit TPG .. I still buy nnc graded coins when I run onto one I like , I just make sure that what I pay is closer to what I assume the actual grade is rather than what it's labeled as ...
