Benji: The coin isn't all that rare, but can be challenging to find. It's pretty easy to find a Mint State example. The one I'm showing here is the only raw example I've found to date. However, I might "accidentally" already have the overdate in my collection (raw) but the underdigit is very tough to see. This overdate is almost never obvious so you need at least 10X and know what you're looking for. Many times I see dealers advertising they have a 62/1 because the "2" looks like it has a dangling serif that could be from a "1"...I don't think it is, I believe that's just how they cut the date. You really need to see the underdigit and/or the die breaks that go from the star to the date to be certain that you have a good 62/1.
