I found this roll of 1938-D Buffalo nickels this evening, and would appreciate any feedback on the grade of these examples.

Also wondering if anyone has insight on the best approach for something like this - is it more valuable as a full roll, or should we sort through and pull out the highest grade coins?

Nice two coins .38-D's are common in MS . I recommend pulling out the best ones and either card them or if their that nice , send them in for grading . just realize to send a 38-D Buff to TPG it should be at least MS-66+ , 67 or 68 .

Yes, 38-D's are common in 66MS condition - don't know if that will make your money back from the grading fees. T-BOP is right -

Check each coin for varieties: D/S and D/D are the big ones and do command a premium.

Original rolls of 38-D Buffs are not near as "common" as they used to be. If it were mine, I'd just roll it back up, put in the safe and then open it again in 30 or 40 years!

Nice find!

I recently did a bulk submission of them.

They're super common in grades MS-64 to MS-66.
Only MS-67 or higher are worth it.

The first one looks MS-64 and the second one looks MS-65.

Very nice coins

Nice lot, congrats, but these are very common in MS and the submission cost is disproportionately high relative to the likely value of the slabbed coin.
