Over many years, I've kept track of my personal submission certification letters and the corresponding year they were graded, alongwith other collectors and/or dealers with their submissions, I give you the following chart.

I hope you can find it useful (some do, some do not).

I'm only posting the cert initials that have two letters, not three (which started in November of 2011).

It is accurate.

Please feel free to post your own ICCS Cert. letters but I ask you to make sure you are positive of the year.

We definitely don't need the numbers, just the initials.

There should be 729 combinations (27 x 27 = 729) and I only have listed 67, so there's lots more out there.

2004.....AS, DL, HO, LX, IR, QV, VL, ZB, ZH.

2005.....CG, EN, FQ, KT, MN, TG, VC, WF, XQ.

2006......CB, GE, GG, IT, ME, NR, UN, UU, PV.

2007......BA, BQ, FJ, JX, MH, OA, PE, RP, UC.

2008......DO, GR, JG, JT, NM, PQ, VP, WT, YH.

2009......EU, EV, FW, HI, IV, JQ, LU, MZ, ZP.

2010......NO, QP, OO, XI, XN, YV, ZN, ZR, ZY.

2011......PU, UO, UR, VU, November onward 3-letters.

I have many of the old certificates, but most, if not all were purchased.

Since I didn't send them in for grading, I have no idea of the year in which they were graded.

Hopefully others, possibly such as yourself, will post the years in which your coin was graded so we can have our own ICCS database.

Are there years when they switched out the plastic or the design or the flip?

Wow, thanks for sharing!

Do you know during which year did the flip style changed (from having a paper with an embossed seal to a plain one)?

No I don't.

I have about 2 ICCS boxes full with ICCS graded Old Cert coins, but since I purchased all of these, I don't know the year they were graded.

I could perhaps provide a list of two letter certs that are the older ones, but as stated above, I wouldn't be able to give the years.

Thanks. That might be useful too (if it's not too much work, and nobody else here knows).
