Seated Dollars- disconnect in valuations

I have noticed that the dealer asking prices have gone up fairly significantly with respect to this series. AU examples seem to be fetching $800-$1100 and I am referring to the common dates.... 1871, 1859-O, 60-O, etc...

The grey sheet and most publications seem to be alittle behind... any thoughts?

    Seated is currently moving up in value. You might hear about it in the greysheets in a month or two.


    Edited: because I can't spell
    Some refer to overgraded slabs as Coffins. I like to think of them as Happy Coins.

    Greysheet is way low on Seated dollars, especially the scarce and rare dates.

    Choice AU coins which aren't dipped or cleaned to hell are regularly selling for WELL over most of the MS-60 sheet values.

    High quality Seated stuff is on fire, particularly the tougher dates. Of course, when it comes to nice, unmolested high-grade Seated dollars, every date is a tougher one.

    Grey sheets are a lagging indicator. I have been beat out quite a bit lately on my bids for seated dollars, and I thought I was bidding strong.

    The coins in all the Seated denominations are rising fast.
    This is especially true of the Quarters and Dollars.
    Some of the reason for this of course, is that they were so terribly undervalued. They still are to a great extent.
    If this is a series you have an interest in, buy now while there's still bargains to be had.

    I appreciate the comments... I have always liked the series, especially the Dollars, but finding nice originals have always a real challenge that is more discouraging UNTIL RECENTLY. I am wondering if it is demographics and due to the strength of the overall market that some collections have been sold. I am looking and enjoying the moment except the degree of uncertainty associated with the current valuations in that publications do not reflect price increases

    I recently saw a decent 1853 std. $1 in PCGS XF45 for $775. Not far at all off of grey sheet.

    About two years ago, RCNH had a nice 1846 Seated dollar in totally original PCGS AU-58 for $1050. Great eye appeal. At the time we had just made a major purchase because money was tight so I reluctantly passed on it for my type set.

    Now, I'm kicking myself repeatedly for not extending to buy it. Put that one on eBay or in an auction and it's probably $1500 easy, and maybe more.

    And in December I went after jdimmick's 1843 Seated dollar also in PCGS 58, on eBay -- an absolute beauty. My snipe of over $1500 was DOA.

    An 1853, if original, in ef45 at 775 is a steal...

    I was lucky to find a nice 1846 raw years ago that is terrific... graded an AU58 which will remain in my collection for the forseeable future

    Prolly all, though Seated $'s are the toughest Seated type generally.

    Just business strikes or proofs as well?

    There are collectors of seated proofs, of course, but for some reason many seem to converge on the business strikes. I think the price appreciations have been more substantial on the unc side than the proof side.

    I really have not followed the movement in the Proofs
