Now this must have been quite a surprise for the submitter. Can you only imagine??
Second-finest known 1884-CC eagle found in bullion coin submission
By Paul Gilkes , Coin World
A submission of 14 gold bullion coins earlier in 2020 to Professional Coin Grading Services Europe Office in Paris included what is now the second-finest known 1884-CC Coronet gold $10 eagle.
PCGS reports the 1884-CC Coronet gold eagle was graded and encapsulated by the grading service as Mint State 62+. The newly found gold eagle is exceeded only by a PCGS Mint State 63 example certified in 1999 as part of the Harry W. Bass Jr. Collection.

That's quite the find! Congrats to the owner.
Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.
Makes one wonder how many undiscovered rarities are yet t be found!

running like a water color in the rain...."

The CC mint just keeps on giving and from Europe no doubt.

Guess you all saw that DWN sold six 1884-cc double eagles in P/C AU58 yesterday...thousands and thousands of Fairmont coins must still be out there...keeping me from buying any post civil war gold right now...
Congratulations to the owner

Now that's a find!!!
What a great find....These 'treasures' appear from time to time.... Keeps the spirit alive in treasure hunters....Much like the saying from The X Files....'They are out there'...
Cheers, RickO

The submitter probably thought the marks on the obverse were post-mint scratches and didn't bother to evaluate the coin.
Uh, so, do we just imagine how nice it is? The link gives photo credit for their not-photos.
I hope the owner enjoys that one for a long long time
