That coin needs to be graded and encapsulated. It is a nice example of its type with the common yet very pronounced die clash it is worth a premium if certified. The coin has significant historical value as one of the few remaining identifiable early cents. Nice coin. If you want to sell I'm buying.

    As there are no pre-1793 U.S. coins listed under VarietyPlus, this piece would not be attributable as a variety.  Clash marks usually aren't classified as a mint error but are regarded as a "die state".  This Fugio copper was also struck somewhat off-center, so it is possible that it could receive a "mint error" designation if that service were requested, but I wouldn't count on it.   

   The main rationale for submitting this piece to a grading service would be to authenticate it and determine that it has not been altered. The clash marks are obvious, and shouldn't need to be stated on a grading service label.
