[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1582417, member: 26302"]Most crusties are simply corroded garbage. Most good coins come out of the ground as recognizable good coins, they just need some dirt removed. But yeah, bad things can happen over age. I have had silve coins that were so brittle they just broke. No, I didn't drop them, they just cracked. Bums you out, but it can happen rarely. The alloys were not that variable. The coins were are discussing are just notorious for being hard to clean. How the silver got washed on the outside is a whole other discussion. Interesting though.
