So I pulled the trigger on a Fugio Cent, closest match I can find is 17-S. My focus is on the sunk "I" and "S" in "Business", the rays up top seem to be a match too. I originally had concern about authenticity, but having found a pretty clear die match I'm not so concerned about that at this point. Of course once in hand I'll weigh and measure it. I had to trade reverse damage for a decent obverse. Thanks for your help.

Very nice. I would like one of those someday. I think you made a good choice in trade for a better obverse.
