A Few MS62 Seated Halves

MS62 can be a tricky grade level in that there are some dogs (no eye appeal), coins that have rub that should be in AU holders, and usually are luster challenged. In my seated half collecting journey, I've been surprised at a few that really are nice to own. Of course, they are less expensive than the whiz bank upper MS levels.
I wanted to share the ones I own with you. If you have a MS62 of whatever denomination that you like, please share in this thread!
(edited to add two more since this post was originally made)
Will update this pic once my budde robec receives. In the meantime, here's a video to give you a flavor:

great coins- I have no images of my US coins at this grade level to share and I will refrain from posting world coins even though some may have been exported from Philly...

Great looking group of Seated halves! The other coins are cool, as well. Here is a Newfoundland piece-

My only MS62 Seated Half. Normally I stick within the XF range but this one called out to me.
Some great looking 62's here folks.

Outstanding. That ‘60 would look great in my type set!
I love an MS62 graded classic. I can’t speak for this series as I lack the familiarity, let alone expertise, but that’s been a great “value” grade for me over the years while still offering an excellent example.
Having fun while switching things up and focusing on a next level PCGS slabbed 1950+ type set, while still looking for great examples for the 7070.
That's quite the coin to "step up" to, I'd say. Lovely!

I weep.
OK. I must know why you despair. Inaccurately graded? Visual induced trauma? Pray tell.

Grading will always be subjective- that is simply how it is and I do not see that changing. The I weep concept can be out of happiness or what should have been. And in looking at images posted here it seems there so much to see and appreciate. The subjective nature of grading will always be part of the process. That will not change... ever.

About how much he wants that 1889-CC.

I cannot find the thing I wrote on why I invented the AU-58 grade while at ANACS.
Here you go, @CaptHenway, I believe this is the post and thread you want to share-

Yes, thank you.
I think 62 can be a good grade. Here a few of my winners....

I am in love with this 62. Probably one of my favorite coins in my collection.

These all appear to be wonderful coins! What is the common denominator that is causing the majority of them to be graded MS62s?

Ive add a couple of 62s to my collection. These are very nice for the grade!
The hits on the the cheek obviously limit it, but I really enjoy the overall look of this one:
Would love to know what held this coin back.
This one is NGC MS62. I need to take new photos.
After seeing all the gorgeous MS62's in this thread, I have a newly found respect for the grade
