Well to "buy" or for my own coins?
I like to buy PCGS graded coins..they seem to be on top right now with NGC a close second. If I can get a nice value on a PCGS coin in "the old slab" it will generally grade 1 higher with PCGS as they were much more conservative then.
I also like sending coins to PCGS unless they have problems (cleaned, rim damage, etc.) then I will send them to ICG. They will grade problem coins and have a decent reputation.
