I had a nice standing liberty quarter in MS62 that I sold and "upgraded". Yes, the luster was a bit impaired, but it had overall great eye appeal with nice pops of color.
But I still have a few other nice ones. The barber is the first certified coin I ever owned, going back ~25 years.
Here are a couple others in my "sold" bucket, the CC 20c (CAC) being the standout:
A couple with pics that were handy. I generally like seated halves at 62, a nice mix of quality for the price, especially with the way high end AUs are priced these days.
It's another 62 (CAC) that is a great fit for my collection. I didn't have a Philly 1859 so I was happy to add it. So tough to find nice seated halves.

The coin is MS62 but the sticker is clearly PMD.

Nothing is as expensive as free money.
If that's a 62 I'm gonna have to go back to grading school!
PCGS 62 CAC Gold.
A "finest known" Overton variety and by far the most expensive coin in my collection.

Here is a seated half in 62
This is one of the most “original” looking SLHs I have but it’s almost 200 years old and it’s possible someone may have messed with it in the past.
I really love the look of this Arrows and Rays half. The details are so striking. CACG 62+

@Southcounty I'm so impressed with your set. Wonderful coins surely selectively assembled over many years. Thanks for sharing a few here!

This was at the bottom of a small box of old coins I was appraising. I sent it in just to be authenticated and it came back MS which was a surprise.

Dan! Awesome thread - your 62’s are beyond top notch,imo. Just beautiful! I’m a bit late to the “party”, but I have a few nice FE’s to add:
(The S-1 is the ultra rarity of the FE PR series)
(The S-4 is a seldom encountered variety)
(The LL design normally has the High Leaves rev)

And now my 10th MS62 CAC half has arrived (sole 62 in CAC pop):
"Got a flaming heart, can't get my fill"
Your tenth?! I have two Fair2s and two AG3s in my collection. No MS62s.
Here's my new AG3 WB-2 (R5).
It's an upgrade over my Fair-2 WB-2
Gorgeous!!❤️

@Catbert is that a large staple scratch on the reverse of the 1879?
