Purchased on recent CNG sale. I haven't seen coin in hand yet know from trusted friend that had seen it that it is quite nice. Oddly, I was offered to buy this exact coin close to a decade ago, and had sticker shock.

Obv: Large laureate draped bust right. in ornate circle, imperial and royal titles. Rev: Archducal crown over oval 15-fold shield in Collar of the Golden Fleece, Panther of Styria in top row. Legend consists of titles ARCHI. AVSTRIAE. DVX. BVRGVNDIAE. STYRIAE Ec., 16-70. NGC MS-63.

Is the NGC picture faithful? Is it out of the holder image?
How does one get a hater to stop hating?

Not really true to image - darker and more distinct in hand - here is a video - https://vimeo.com/user81731562/review/280002022/d2136a4950

those new NGC pics are great! I think same can be said about PCGS true view, not entirely spot on, I've owned some and the pictures seem slightly enhanced/juiced vs the actual coin in hand.
