Yes, very nice coins.
The 62 if awful close to XF, as the ribbon is separate from the curl. It is also a decent strike. copper nickel issues are prone to weak strike characteristics. there appears to be a small Die Cud in the rev. shield
The 63 is also very close to XF (ribbon/curl separation), but is somewhat weakly struck and in a late die state as revealed in the rev. die cracks.
Both coins have very few marks making them real keepers.

I'm leaning more toward EF for the '62 and a strong F for the '63. The die cracks in the reverse of the '63 are a real plus for me...add a lot of interest, but not any real value. In hand, and fully in focus, these coins could show better and perhaps warrant a higher grade. I'm in a cautious mood today, so may be undergrading!

I won't disagree with the grades, I love the die cracks, and they both look to have been cleaned at some point in the past.
