She's 200!

I bought this bust half several years ago. I orginally wanted a 200 year old coin for the collection just for bragging rights but at that time a decent example 200 years old was a little out of reach.
Other than 200 years old my criteria was fine or better in original condition with no damage. So I found this one at the local coin shop while browsing that seemed to fit the bill. Not 200 at that time but I figured in a few year she would be. Honestly I forgot about her then it dawned on me that now she's 200. She has a mark on reverse but the dark tone indicates no cleaning at least recently, the last 100 years or so and the price was reasonable.
I think I paid $90 for it at that time but don't know what it's worth now. I haven't been into coins as much as I used to lately.
Another unique thing about this example is it from the war of 1812 era.
So go ahead and feel free to post your 200+ year old coins guys.

Some very nice examples here.
Here's my 1812. She sits in a PCGS genuine holder.
The other >200 year-old is this one.
