I think the knowledge base here is one of the best in the Numismatic world.
Can anyone give me a list of all of the different Third Party Coin Grading Companies? I know the Majors: PCGS, NGC, ANACS & ICG. What I need is the "others" that claim to be 3rd Party Coin grading companies.
Also of importance is which are currently in business and which have gone out of business (PCI comes to mind).
Thanks for the help

Actually I'm looking for a very comprehensive list, so if you know of any (even the "self slabbers"), I'd like to know their names. The ANA has been sued byUniversal Grading Company (someone I never heard of) and the question came up as to how many different grading companies are there?
