[QUOTE="BR549, post: 917744, member: 7110"]More or less, only the "provenance" can be followed with outside records of who previously owned the coin, the grading services do not provide information as such. Leading TPG "sonic seal" the edges which in essence makes them tamper proof. The edges become bonded and the only way to reopen the original clam shell is to either cut it open or crack it all along the edges. It will be obvious if an attempt was made to switch a coin.
