PCGS Price guide for some coins is missing

And the price guide just doesn’t coincide with the market
Here is one example:
The price guide doesn’t even list a value for AU specimens and seems a bit low for lower MS graded coins.
I haven’t been able to acquire any in AU grade for less than $1000.
Are there other examples where the prices are way off from the actual market ?

A price guide is just that -a guide. Values will always be out dated and off reality. What is $20 today could be $50 or $10 tomorrow.
Updating the price guide for all the coins must be time consuming and costly. My best guide is actual auction prices sold on ebay or one the major auction sites.
You can email them here with why you think they are under/over priced and they might change it. coinprices@collectors.com
While this may be true and I do agree that it may be time consuming. This particular variety only has a population of 27. And no prices at all for anything below MS 62.
I know it is modern but even so, I would happily buy just one mint state specimen for $50.
First photo represent pop.
Second photo is the prices for MS 62-64
Third photo is price for top grades MS 65, MS 66, MS 67.
Yet I’ve purchased Au specimens in AU grades for no less than $1000.
Question remains. They could at least say it’s worth $.25 in the price guide.

Some price guides are better than others. The Redbook is far more accurate for SLHs than CU Coin Prices now that it has been acquired by CDN Publishing.
If they put a price of 25 cents on a coin you think is worth $1000, I think you'd be just as mad or more so.

I’m not mad. I just think there ought to be some value attached to the coins that have been graded by the publishers of such data. The thread was asking if anyone had other examples. You apparently do not. Thank you for your attention to detail.

There's a lot of gaps for lower grade, low population moderns. Just randomly, no price for anything below 64 for modem Roosevelt dimes.
