Curious observation on Ike price guide

I see that the FS-103 #395913 and FS-106 #395915 proof Ikes were added to the price guide when these coins were added to the registry. I was wondering why the FS-401 Silver Peg Leg #148405, which was added to the registry at the same time, is not listed in the price guide. Populations are available for all coins. Actually, the FS-401 has a much larger population than both proofs combined. The combined population of those two proofs is only 7 total, yet they have PCGS prices listed and the uncirculated FS-401 does not.
I'm sure not nearly enough of the FS-401 have changed hands to track market prices since the formal PCGS recognition, but I find it hard to believe PCGS doesn't have an estimation of price based on current known populations.
Personally, I know roughly what the FS-401 Ikes are worth in various grades, but I was curious to see PCGS's take on the matter.

I recently aquired 3 different FS Roosies and upon entering them to my inventory, they did not have a price guide price. Wanting/needing them listed in the price guide is crucial to my collection, so I reported the prices to someone who reports prices bought/sold directly to PCGS and this person sees to it that the prices are registered. Its the only way to assure that it is fair. When I reported these prices, I showed final sales reciepts to also assure it was ligit. Otherwise I would own 3 beautiful dimes and not have current prices for them.
Hope this helps.

You think thats a bit off expecially since this MS64 went for peanuts??
Perhaps Jaime Hernandez at PCGS should be notified?

When a unique coin is valued at $ 85 and another unique coin is valued at $ 4750, It does make you scratch your head.

Hey,,,, that was MY coin!!!
Last one of those I send to TeleTrade. It went too cheap
Actually a large percentage of FPL that have sold have been my coins. I could provide PCGS sale prices if they would like?

Dang!
Its too bad that the Registry weights do not reflect reality.
Currently the FS-401 has a weight of 5.00 while a 1976-D Type 1 has a weight of 6.00.
This means that the MS64 1976-D T1 coin at $35 has more "registry weight" than the $300-$400 MS64 FS-401 ?
My personal experience has been that its far easier to locate a 1972 Type 2 coin than it is to locate a 1971-S Peg Leg and I'm sure that many would agree.
