Results of My First PCGS Submission!

I got back the first coin that I've ever sent to PCGS about a month ago, and the TrueView of it loaded yesterday. Here's the story about this coin and the results:
Last August I attended my first coin show for my birthday, the Upstate Coin Show in South Carolina. I had a blast talking with dealers, making lots of great deals, and seeing great coins. My best pickup (and the cheapest) was this 1962 toned proof Lincoln, which I bought for only $2.
The following October, I sent it to PCGS by piggybacking on a friend's submission. Six months later, the results came in. I had predicted PR66BN, and it came back PR67BN! It's a pretty difficult grade to get, with a population of 20, and only 1 higher. This is actually my second PR67BN 1962, I bought one in February because I didn't think mine would grade a 7.
Below I've attached pictures of the coin raw, the coin show, and the TrueView. In my signature you can find a link that will take you to my PCGS set registry, which is for my toned Lincoln Cents. Feel free to let me know which 1962 you think I should use for my set, I'm still not entirely sure.

Wow, great result. What's the PCGS price guide on that stunner?
@logger7
PCGS price guide doesn't put into consideration the toning, which is what gives this coin it's value. I think that it's worth in the $80 - $110 range, though I've seen them sell for more.

That’s awesome. Well done! Wonderful toning on that proof as well. 👏

So the wait time for pcgs grading is currently at 6 months?
gratz!
this would have been a great coin for a gtg, depending on provided images.
I like submissions that have a happy ending.
Handsome looking coins, congrats

Would have never thought a raw coin at a coin show would grade a 67 - usually they have been handled etc.
it is a sweet coin - never seen one that nice!
Great buy. Nice TV
@CentSearcher ... Congratulations on a great acquisition and grade. Cheers, RickO
Beauty, no doubt. Congrats. Hope my TV happens soon.
