I have not done a guess the grade on here for a while now. I picked this up recently and wanted to see what some of your thoughts are. All comments are welcome.

Attractive color, imo, a little weakly struck-especially on the reverse, for a '38-P. My guess is MS64 w/cac.
I can see a 64, but wouldn't be surprised at a 58

I'm at MS65 unless you snagged it in a no line fatty.
Love the color and look, though it would be impossible to find other matching coins to go with it
in a set. And I'm Ok with that....uniformity can be boring.
Agree with OldEastside....without being able to tilt it or inspect it in hand, to better gage the luster bands, it could be a 58, although likely in a MS holder, as high as 64.
Love your photography

I agree with both OldEastside and Walkerguy21D. 58 to 64. I would lean more toward 58, but that's just my opinion.

I 'see' fairly nice luster - though color indicates a prior dip (IMHO). Fields are very nice.
I'm also crediting a color grade bump.
66.
Great pictures.... I could see a 65 ....there are some weak points...OK, a 64 after another review...Cheers, RickO
Pretty. 65
64+ but 65 would be OK. I like the overall look. Might be secondary toning.
This is one of those tougher coins to photograph. The luster is there, but it's a bit subdued due to a bit of haze and the toning. The color patterns make it almost appear to be AU like in the images, but you guys are seeing through it, it is in a MS holder.
58, if that is wear. 64 if weak strike. Typically well struck.
I see a 65. It has a weaker strike but the surface preservation and the toning are magnificent.

I can see the eye appeal pushing what might be a 64 if white, to a 65.....
MS64 here. Nice one!

MS62 but its hard for me to tell on the pinkish as the color tend to soften the edges
Best place to buy !

Ms 65+.
What smudge said.
58, if that is wear. 64 if weak strike. Typically well struck
64
Terrific look, great pics.
I like it! probably a 65 by today's standards. Lil weak of a strike for a 38 and that foreign matter by the L in liberty being the only detractors.
I recently got a colorful 38 too.
64
58
I like yours. It looks like it has some decent luster and I like the peripheral toning.
58
64+
My first thought was 63 so I will go with that.

Very Nice! MS-65
Mu first thought also but looking at the other guesses I didn't want to embarrass myself. Not that 63 is a bad thing mind you. I like the coin a lot.
it's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide
And it's reveal time. This Walker is in an early PCGS Rattler, it was graded just after the transition to the green label from the white label. The toning in the images do make it appear as if it's an AU coin, but I assure you, the luster is "all there". I had no doubts about this coin when I was placing my bid on it and knew I had to have it. It is in my opinion under graded by at least a point and a half to two points by todays standards, as many of you have confirmed my suspicion.
That one must have been hiding in someones collection for a while.
With the new photo I can see it in a 65 holder .Pretty coin.
64 is my WAG
Great photography.
I bet that's a beauty to behold.
I'm never a fan of what I consider distracting image stamps on pics of a beautiful piece FWIW
Edit to say; I missed it by "this much"

Send it to the bean people. If you're lucky enough to get a yellow, it will be worth more than in a regular 65 holder.
Looks like a great deal!

I love its look and it would look even better with a gold bean.

I'm hopeful that it comes back with a gold bean. I spotted it on Great Collections a few weeks ago and was expecting it to sell for more than what I was willing to bid on it. I was surprised that is sold for less than my max bid.
I don't come across rattlers with this low of a serial number often. So close to being a white label. LOL
Above average Unc. but where's the luster? I prefer Clarkbar's coin.
1938 is an interesting Philly coin.
They seem tougher and at one time I had a mini-hoard, now long dispersed.
Nice piece.
