Even if I didn't think the 62 was useful, i don't really see what I would replace it with. I guess I could add a 3 iron, but I have a 2 hybrid that is 19 degrees, and my 4 iron is 21 degrees. Guess I just wanted a better feel for what a normal wedge composition is.
Almost all amateurs get nothing out of a 60, let alone a 62. It's just a matter of not knowing how to use that much loft. And your PW is basically the loft of a 9-iron, which is becoming somewhat standard these days, but it can create problems.
If you still wanted three wedges you could go 48,52,56 or 50,54,58 depending on gaps. Regardless, you want equal gaps between your wedges, that is quite important.
My current 9-iron has 44 degrees of loft, I fly it 150. I carry three Vokey wedges in lofts of 48, 54, and 60. I fly them 130, 110, and 90 respectively.
