<p>[QUOTE="The_Cave_Troll, post: 41236, member: 1674"]The only 2 things I can think of are 1) trace its history backwards or 2) try to trace its history forward. To go backwards have your friend ask his uncle where it came from. Then take his answer and contact that person to see where they got it. Keep doing that until you find the person who had it slabbed (put into the plastic holder it's in). The other option is to try to contact PCGS (the slabbing company) and see if they can give you any info about the person who originally sent the coin in to them for slabbing. (I have no idea how much they can or will tell you). Then, take that info and contact that person and see if you can find out if they still know where/when/to whom it was sold. Follow this process until you get back to your friend's uncle. Good luck, this won't be an easy task, BUT, it could provide you peace of mind about its provenance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
