We can't help you, but when you get promoted to "Member" please post a picture and we'll be able to help then. I understand it's been taking a couple of days to a couple of weeks.
Sorry it said I was promoted to member I guess there's a glitch I'll wait and try Again thanks
Any company other than PCGS, NGC, ICG, OR ANACS holds no really value in the marketplace. Unless you can cross it to one of the big 4, your coin is worth $1 or $2. Sorry.
Made me wonder what other grading companies are out there...I was really surprised to see so many...and I can't imagine what the standards for each are. Also surprised to see ICG fall into this list (this list only put the three PCGS, NGC, and ANACS on the top)

It's a safe bet that it's over graded by at least 5 points.
@Lex2cent... Welcome aboard. You can post a link to your pictures. Make sure they are clear and of obverse and reverse. Cheers, RickO
ICG has a more complicated history than the other 3.
Didn't ICG & ANACS trade locations & staff several years ago. In essence, is the current ICG is the former ANACS?
.
have you looked up in the archives here (i recall at least one website as well) for threads dedicated to the off-brand holders, which are VAST? probably 100-200 i'd say. a former member, i think, conder101 did publish a book, i think it was him.
No, but I should have. There is so much information here I should have looked here first!!!!!
100-200 grading companies? Now that really surprises me, I had no idea there would be that many. Definitely vast!!
.
wasn't sure how dedicated or not to the cause you are so figured i'd mention it because i do recall seeing several lists and many images. stumble across the right threads and you'd probably hit pay dirt. just so i've said it as of late, when i recommend someone use the archives, i'm usually telling them to do so because i specifically remember seeing something that would be of use/interest if they so choose. for sure it isn't me being snarky or pawning work off onto others, like i'm saying, "go visit the archives, you **MAY **find something of use."
either way, enjoy the search and the entertainment/disdain that comes with looking these things up.
Some / most of those companies either no longer exist or they are now part of one of the big 4
Never thought you were being snarky @LanceNewmanOCC. This is interesting, and what @Che_Grapes says makes sense...it's all part of our coin's history. I should look for that book you mentioned earlier.
