Very nice Jim!
Are you talking about the slight pitting around the cleaned areas? It is easy to see the cleaning, but not sure what you refer to as the corrosion...
The half was from E-bay, but the rest came from my local coin store - finally the coin store got in some books. :) Love the darkness of the half...
I always recommend checking heritage - compare your coin to the auction coin. So search for the date and variety - that should give you a feel...
