[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1234554, member: 26030"]Good question [B]merccrazy[/B]. The 1962, above, is the cleanest Lincoln Proof in my (admittedly small) collection with just incredible pop and visual appeal. There are some slightly darker, copper-colored toning spots on the reverse of the '62, that get heavier around the word STATES -- so maybe that's why NGC dropped the grade to a PF 66? That being said, to my eye, the green-toned 1962 looks much better (cleaner) than this color-heavy 1961 (below) graded by PCGS as PR [U][B]67[/B][/U] RB, which has some "rust like" toning spots around the IN GOD WE TRUST motto on the obverse. It might be interesting to submit the green-toned 1962 to PCGS, but it's a small potatoes coin and the $25 slabbing fee might not be worth the trouble. Excuse my bad photo on the '61, the toning on this coin makes it an exceedingly difficult coin to capture. I plan on having this coin professionally imaged. [ATTACH]131740.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
