Proof 1962 Half Crown Sold At Heritage - Very Rare!

[VickySilver 848]

Several days ago, Heritage USA had a sale and in it was a specimen of the 1962 halfcrown in proof. I was rather astonished and had assumed it might not exist in commercial channels as I had never seen one on the market before, nor seen one period. Perhaps such coins escape much interest as they certainly are not gold or even silver; also currency versions are easily had. Anyway, just wondering if anyone has seen or heard of such before?? How about any other proof half crowns  from 1963 to 1967?

Coin graded proof cameo 63. I  will see if I can post pictures in thread to follow.

Somehow I suspect the surfaces to be a bit nicer when seen in hand.
