Wait, you have a certificate of shares that are no longer restricted and your broker won't accept them? Is it just this particular issue? I would find a broker who will accept them. That's a lot of money and you need to get them into an account before they start trading south which can very well happen when restricted shares become unrestricted. Everyone starts selling them. Try choicetrade - I use them and they have accepted shares that Etrade wouldn't let me trade. They have no restrictions.
