Garrett and Guth, through their "Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins 1795-1933" state, "As a date, the 1868-S is slightly more available than previous quarter eagles of the 1860s from the San Francisco mint. This issue is almost always seen well worn or damaged. Extremely fine and almost uncirculated coins can be found with some effort.
This coin has a deep bronze toning which highlights the devices and legend, apparently from an excess of copper and some impurities (silver) in the planchet.
