My 1909-O Barber Quarter

Another 1909-O Barber percolates to the surface. I found this coin on the side of a graded dirt road about 15 years ago and only last night decided to research a little on what I had. Thought you collectors might like to see the images I made from my scanner.
No telling how long it was in the ground. But, seems to have held up reasonably well for its hard times.
At the Picasa image hosting site, once images are clicked to enlarge, there's an option on the right side of the screen to download the full 850x850 pixel images.

For a road find and such an old date, it is in pretty good condition.
Oh and WELCOME

Guessing: Since I live on the Mississippi coast, I guess it might not be too unusual for a coin to show up with the New Orleans mint mark.
This is the first and, likely, the last thing of any significance I'll find in my life. I was looking for arrowheads at the time and STILL have never found one.

O mints wouldnt be uncommon down there...but an 09-O barber is a tough coin!
