When a firm publishes a coin price guide does it create any financial liability for itself if the guide proves to be inaccurate?

    The key word is "guide", so I would say no to your question.
    PNG member, numismatic dealer since 1965. Operates a retail store, also has exhibited at over 1000 shows.
    I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.

    I think "guide" is a preposition.

    could be some financial gain if publisher lowballs his price on what he likes to collect. image

    No financial risk unless the prices are unrealistic in which case the publisher will lose subscribers.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
