Is the 1919 corroded?

I don't know that I'd call either corrosion. Corrosion is a deformation of the metal, and the metal on those appears intact. They're spotty from circulation and exposure to the environment. It happens to the best of them.

 

I would say just worn down, not corroded. If it was corroded, it would usually appear green-ish.

 

Just circulation wear on a almost 100 year old Cent

 

Both are heavily circulated cents.
