Ya it's pitted but what does net good mean?

 

Were the coin not pitted, it would be called very fine and sell for an equivalent price (roughly $150). However, since yours is badly pitted, it would not sell for that much. I would sell for roughly $90 which is the price for a circulated coin, but not corroded, sells for if it were in good condition. Thus, the details are very fine, but the net (after deductions) grade is good.

 

well i have a question...i see apenny on either side of the 1909 s so does that mean ou have a 1909 s vdb?

 

No I don't have a vdb, the shadow makes it looks like it. Thanks everyone for the info!

 

Even with the pitting nice coin.

 

At first, it didn't look like that the wheats were full, and it look weak at the bottom of the wheats also. But, looking at it again, it's more VF than anything. Minor slip-up by me.
