As I am now in the position to buy a higher quality coins, I am confused by the grading services. Which ones are most recongized and which should I stay away from?

PCGS tends to get the highest resale value, followed by NGC, then ANACS. Some say IGC would be 4th. I personally do not own any slabbed coins, but have been reading up on the subject...

Also a follow-up where does a BU coin rate MS-65? or am I way off course?
