Search Heritaqe archives for "1787 fugio clash" and there are 371 of them to look through. Tons with clashes similar to yours, for example these...
The whole area around IN GOD says fake to me, as well as the other stuff mentioned.
If you have more than one coin, consider ANACS. They have a flat rate for conservation and I can't imagine their special sauce is much different...
New photos of another one. One of my favorites from grandpa because the reverse is so well-struck and like a mirror. [ATTACH]
