What is the process for submitting a new Indian Cent variety?

I picked up a 1889 Indian cent a few years ago with a repunched date I was unable to find in the Snow book. I finally got around to submitting it to ANACS and asked for variety research. It graded AU50, and had a note that it was a repunched date but couldn't be found in Snow or Poliquin.
Has anyone here submitted a new IHC variety before, and what the process was for doing so?
Thanks in advance for any info you can provide!

Send it to Rick Snow.....

He has added two varieties that I have found to his attribution guide. It might take a while for ANACS to be able to attribute it, and unless it's a new major variety, PCGS will not attribute it.
Also, could you post it here? Would be very helpful!
ANACS first, you've done that. Now Snow. You're on the right track.

And after Rick, you'll want to loop it back to ANACS for the Discovery Specimen tag.

Like the others have said, definitely send it to Rick Snow.

Your headed in the right direction 👍
I contacted Rick via the 'contact us' link on indiancent.com, and am awaiting a response.
Here are images of the coin and date- again certified AU-50 Repunched Date by ANACS. The repunching isn't spectacular, but shows best on the 9:
I couldn't get the reverse image to upload, will try again later.
C, Your usual fine photo(s)!
It appears that David Poliquin doesn't have it listed either, so you may want to contact him about adding it to the website.
