Greysheet is conservative on sleeper date Seated coins, so the prices usually aren’t too relevant. I don’t know how close PCGS Priceguide is to reality, though. I use recent auction records to price coins like that.
Depends on the coin.
busthalfbrian, is there a source that shows auction records in conglomerate ?
Upper right hand corner of this page should be a link to CoinFacts.

three have went to auction this year, two were details, the other was an NGC nearly identical in terms of wear but lighter in color, on average it looks like about eight to ten go to auction each year with about half being details graded. i think it makes sense to keep it

My experience in general is that the PCGS prices run on the high side. You normally shouldn’t pay a lot more than those amounts. The trouble is when a date and mint mark combination is very scarce and thinly traded, pricing becomes difficult. If you are “THE expert,” you might end up with some bargains. You could also end in a bidding if it’s an auction and pay too much. Recent auction results, which are provided in “Coin Facts” might be your best guide. Of course if the last sale was in 1999, you are sort of on your own.
I don’t know anything about the Grey Sheet prices for better date dimes in VF. I do know that the Grey Sheet numbers for early copper are too low for quality pieces without problems.
If a collector wants to buy: PCGS price guide.
If a collector wants to sell: Gray sheet ...
Years ago, it used to be that PCGS price guide was for premium coins for the grade.
Ultimately it is up to the buyer to judge quality.

This makes sense because I believe the Greysheet is wholesale pricing, and the PCGS guide represents retail.

Those are both just guides. I tend to use recent auction results and place my bids based on those.
For that material, you should also look at Fortin's sales records on his site.
