[QUOTE="gmarguli, post: 1609686, member: 246"]Multiple reasons: [LIST] [*]Over the years NGC was more active in the world coin markets - actively promoting their services and attending shows that attracted mainly world coin dealers. PCGS acted like they were doing you a favor grading world coins. [*]NGC traditionally graded a wider variety of world coins than PCGS. [*]NGC grades more coins than PCGS overall. [*]NGC submission prices were intentionally kept very low early on in order to get as many submissions as possible to help them get a handle on grading the coins.
