allcoinsaregood Pillar of the Community United States 808 Posts	Posted 11/02/2022 4:55 pm Found this very bright 1962 P and trying to see if it is a proof. Fields are clean but the coin shows wear and it does not have the dark background a proof would have. Coin is a bear to ptcture correctly so tried several different lighting schemes. Very nice looking coin that's why the strike is so good. Let me know your thoughts and regards! Report this Post to the Staff

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 11/03/2022 10:00 am VEDS , business strike . At first glance I would have said it's an impaired proof until determining that the edges did not look like a high wired proof . Report this Post to the Staff
JTCC Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 11/03/2022 12:24 pm I would agree with VEDS business strike. Report this Post to the Staff
nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 11/03/2022 12:48 pm we've learned to mentally adjust for your photos that exaggerate reflectivity, so this looks like a business strike, I'd say MS-63 Report this Post to the Staff
NY Islander Pillar of the Community United States 981 Posts	Posted 11/04/2022 3:40 pm Agree with nick10. Photo (lighting) exaggerates contrast and makes it difficult to assess. But, I agree with OP, it is a bright 62. "We are all flawed, some MD and some PMD." NYI Report this Post to the Staff
