Harmonica Pillar of the Community Canada 1118 Posts	Posted 06/01/2016 07:56 am Hey everyone. I have a token I may want to send off to either ICCS of CCCS to have a provenance tag. The problem is I am not sure how to go about it. I picked up a local token for my Carleton County, NB collection that was sold from Spink and Son's. I do not have the original ad as the website no longer has it up but the coin dealer I got it from told me the story. He is very reputable. You see this token belonged to the Strong Museum in Rochester, New York and was sold off to raise funds for the museum. Do you think (and if so how I would go about) ICCS (preferable) would certify this with an "Ex-Strong Museum" designation? Report this Post to the Staff

doubleeagle59 Pillar of the Community Canada 2495 Posts	Posted 06/01/2016 09:16 am I agree that you will need some kind of proof such as a receipt or other. Just a story from a 'reputable' source won't (or shouldn't) be enough. Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 06/01/2016 09:36 am RCNA Library should have a copy of the auction catalogue, or you could contact Spink directly... as long as the auction pictures match the coin, it can probably get a pedigree. I did the same thing with a Remick piece sold in a Spink auction. https://goccf.com/t/196345 The result: http://www.PCGS.com/cert/11705144 "Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search." -- J.
