1808 1C XF40 Field Tooled, Burnished Uncertified.<p>S-279, R.1. Die State 2+. This coin presents well with orange-brown patina and some medium intensity, glossy-brown color in the center of the reverse. Save for stars 8-13 and the right obverse border (see below), the devices are bold enough to suggest an above average strike for the type. There are a few light abrasions in the center of the obverse, and the fields around Liberty's portrait have been tooled. Late die states of S-279 exhibit extensive damage to the obverse die: stars at the right drawn to the rim, figures of the date distorted, ribbon ends distorted, an indentation in the field before Liberty's throat, and overall poor striking definition. On the present example, stars 8-13 are drawn toward the right border, and the denticles in that area are incomplete, but we can find no evidence of the other forms of die damage.Ex: Richard Melamed (4/2/77); Robert G.
