I am asking for inputs to my question, did not lay any blame on PCGS nor NGC. Let me state again my question: does the seller or HA has a responsibility for accurate provenance (i.e. provide an accurate statement and conduct reasonable research) knowing that it can greatly affect the value of a coin?

If you read the terms and conditions, I suspect you will find they have no such responsibility. They should disclose what is known and what they were told, but the kind of research you did isn't routine for low-value coins.
