Yeah it's darkside, but I couldn't resist showing her off over here. 
Got it in the mail today, NGC MS63 BN. An aquisition from NEN.
Only problem: the dang thing is impossible to photograph well (at least it is for me
).
Straight on shots don't reveal the extent of the color, and angled glass doesn't show the lustre and the pics come out grainy. The coin is exceptionally lustrous.
I affectionately call it "Britannia in a Storm" as the reverse looks like there are lightning flashes going off around her.
I shudder to think what a U.S. half cent or large cent from 1799 looking like this would cost.
