Are 20th century key dates under pricing pressure?

I'm just reaching out to the folks in the trenches who do the buying & selling. I was wondering what your opinion is on the most coveted 20th century key dates. For example,
1916-D Mercury dime...
1909-S VDB...
The big three Barber quarters...
1921-D Walking Liberty...
1955 Double die...
1916 Standing Liberty quarter...
Any others?
Is now the time to finally fill that hole? What grade range is most attractive?
Thanks,
Northstar

1916 SLQ’s graded FH 64, 64+, and 65 are slightly higher now than 2-1/2 - 3 years ago!

My unscientific observation is that the four you mentioned (I don't know Barber quarters) have gone up significantly in price in the last several years, at least in the part of the market I play in (G04 1916-D; AU58 1909-S VDB; VF25/CAC 1921-D and MS62 1955 DDO). I don't know, obviously, if that apparent run-up will continue, or settle for now, so I cannot begin to advise on timing the market (IMO, in almost all circumstances, pretending to time the market, absent larger "hints" like a tanking economy or a booming economy, is an exercise in futility).
