First person to guess correctly what exact grade did this Indian Head cent receive in the infamous Polish grading EEC/GCN is the winner

This is the highest resolution photo provided for the reverse, on the obverse photo they uploaded is so dark that you can't see anything and this is the best I can do to make the coin visible.

So, GCN graded it as _____?

Exactly. Because of the bonuses like fingerprints on proofs, water spots, various debris inside the slab etc.
Also, some have alleged that they change coins, you submit your coin and they send back a different specimen of the same type.
The grading service is also let's say.. controversial.

Edit: we have a winner!

The only reason COINAHOLIC won this time is because this contest came and went before I had a chance to play!

Congrats, again!
