Before the discovery of the S.S. Brother Jonathan and S.S. Republic shipwrecks, the 1863-S was one of the rarest Civil War era double eagles from the San Francisco mint. Today it is relatively easy to locate in all circulated grades. It can be located in the lowest uncirculated grades with just a bit of effort but it remains rare in Mint State-62 and very rare above this.
