OK, even though I was wrong at 58, the 62 does not surprise me. I thought it was a tough coin to grade.
I think it graded AU-58. It's a very weak strike, as previously noted, but I think I see some wear points. Compare to my 1857 below, PCGS AU-58...

Good pickup @expat. I missed that.
I write before I read the other responses. I voted "both". The "O" is surrounded by an unnaturally smooth periphery in the field that does not...
I would call it 53-ish and it's been dipped which is why it's so blast wipe despite wear. It looks like it has luster and I can't see luster...
