Way back on page 1 of this lengthy thread, I posted data, showing how PCGS and CAC price guide differentials from each other for Proof Barber Dimes supports the OP’s point that with some coins/series “there’s a problem somewhere”!
This morning I bought a new Proof Barber Dime for an empty slot in my set that once again, supports this position. Admittedly, one example is not proof (no pun intended).
I bought the below 1900 PR67CAM Barber Dime graded by PCGS and with a CAC sticker:
There are 25 of these graded PR67CAM (14 by PCGS and 11 by NGC). Of those 25, only 10 merit a CAC sticker!
The current PCGS Price Guide is at $4,750. The current CAC Price Report is at $2,850.
I paid $2,500 (via Deluxe eCheck). Yes, I did the “Happy Dance”, lol.

Nice coin.
Your coin also proves the CAC price guide to be accurate for this coin, by the way.
I agree. However, my past experience from April 2025 through the present is that for "similar" coins, I ended up paying somewhere in between those two Price guides. Maybe I overpaid for those, or maybe not (and this most recent purchase was a fair bargain)?

A day without fine wine and working on your coin collection is like a day without sunshine!!!

Well, the price is never exact. And if you want the better coins, you often need to throw the guides out.
All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.
Nice coin @winesteven! You just have a knack for searching out the "unloved and underappreciated series". I often times wonder about the sellers who wind up on the wrong end of a transaction based upon the guides.
Just price it at $3750? Which is Cost plus 50 pct. Considering it’s super PQ…..or leave price at $4750 with lots of haggle room.
It’s one heck of a nice coin. Just put price of $5000 on it lol. Then you could negotiate with guy. If it’s single digit pop I would not take less than $4500. Otherwise it makes a nice corner stone coin for your display case. Remember when they want a big discount they are just trying to rip you. They will try every know it all sleazy trick in the book. It looks 68 to me. Make him pay $5000 at least - don’t give away your nice stuff! It’s one heck of a nice coin, for sure super PQ. You’re in it at $2500? I would for sure go for double bubble on that one. Or am I too low?

Thanks so much for your worthless, off topic post.
It doesn’t take a deep thinker to comprehend that @winesteven bought the coin for his collection and isn’t interested in your advice about pricing it to sell.

@winesteven . A magnificent coin you don't usually see as a bargain. Congrats on both coin & price. James
