Hey Dave, I may have the variety of it for you. Kinda hard to tell from pictures, but I think it's a Breen's variety 1313 (feeling unlucky? lol) A.K.A Crosby Pl. VII and Newman 15-Y Should say States United with an 8 sided star in a recessed circle between the words, at both 12 and 6 o'clock position. It also should have a die crack on the sundial side from a little above the 5 o'clock position of the sundial to the edge of the coin. It's listed as Scarce :clapping: That's the best guess I can give you without seeing it in hand under a magnifying glass.

Yea definitely nice Fugio. It's a bulky coin too. Good going. I can't believe that on the back you can see the words around the WE ARE ONE. Know the variety? I looked at coinfacts.com. There's so many varieties. Once again nice find.
Happy Hunting

Dave, If I'm looking at the correct links you are talking about (5 o'clock position?) then that looks like corrosion to me. The die crack they list, is where the cud is at the 4-5 o'clock position, and is a faint line going from the cud to the base of the sundial. At least that's where I think it is.

on the reverse it's not corrosion.there's a die crack running horizontally through those 2 outside rings and at the right of the die crack theres a brockerage or cud.a piece of copper there going vertically.next time i see you guys i'll bring it with a loop and you'll see
