<p>[QUOTE=&quot;World Colonial, post: 2417372, member: 78153&quot;]To my knowledge, the primary reason many world coins sell for less outside the United States is because of TPG or the potential TPG grade.&nbsp; A second reason is that most countries either have no organized collecting or it is very limited and there isn&#039;t a market for them locally.&nbsp; As a guess, out of approximately 200 countries issuing coinage, maybe 30 or 40 have organized collecting of any scale.&nbsp; Bolivia and Panama are two that either did or do not.&nbsp; In Bolivia, I have found zero dealers or evidence of numismatics as a business.&nbsp; In Panama, I found one local part time dealer who apparently spent most of his time selling to foreigners.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
