<p>[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 1473166, member: 24754"]I know that they are only meant to be guides, and they all go through the trouble of explicitly stating that fact on the first page. But, they do end up representing the only means by which the average person can determine the appropriate buy/sell price for a particular coin. In this respect, if they are going to claim to be a guide, make the guide available to the public, and/or charge money for the publication, then they are assuming an obligation to keep the guide as accurate as possible.</p><p><br /></p><p>I've been cataloging the sale of graded Mexican coins over the past 4-5 months. I am not even close to being an expert in the field, and my knowledge base with respect to Mexican coins is limited at best. But at this point I'm absolutely confident that I could produce a Mexican coin price guide that is more accurate than what is currently listed at the NGC site (and in the book). I'm not saying that my price guide would be truly representative of the entire market, or that it would be based on a sufficient number of documented sales, but it would be more accurate than what is currently available. That to me represents a problem.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
