    I recently purchased an off-pressed Fugio from my LCD, and i'm having a little difficulty confirming the variety. The closest match I have found is 21-I, based upon the image database of Notre Dame. I attached mine and the catalog's example for comparison. I based the match on the orientation of the cinquefoils, the "WE" in relation to "United States", and the tilted E in "One". The lettering of "Fugio" can also be seen within the negative space of the links. Is this enough to confirm my Fugio's variety? Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks!

    I think that 21-I is the right attribution. Unfortunately some of the diagnostic points are not clear on this piece.

    It would also help if you could improve the contrast in your photos. I down loaded your photo and worked on it which helped me try to figure out the variety.

    My Apologies, I didn't realize I had posted two photos of the Notre Dame obv. Here is the rev. below. I was able to match mostly from the reverse seeing as the obverse is diminished. Thank you for your enhancement of my photo, it does give much more clarity to the image.
