<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numismat, post: 1319764, member: 15019&quot;]There is one additional key difference. The population numbers for US coins are representative of what&#039;s been discovered, while for most foreign coins it is not. The US market is so strong that the only high mint state old coins not sent in for grading are those that have not been discovered yet. Many foreign collectors have no need of sending their rare and high mint state coins to an American company for grading. And, I&#039;m not aware of any major European based grading company.</p><p>This goes back to your point about submission numbers, but I wanted to clarify a little. =)</p><p><br /></p><p>No offense to anyone here, but I feel that foreign collectors are generally smarter and less impulsive about buying coins. That&#039;s why they don&#039;t need a strict number grade to guide them along.</p><p>Then again, around 60% of my customers are outside the US, so I may be biased on that point.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
