Numismatic Guaranty Corporation - One of the premier third party grading and certification services that also has census reports, price guides, and a registry for collectors. A great place for socializing with other collectors is through NGC's registry. The nice thing about this registry is that both NGC and PCGS certified coins can be entered into the registry.
