<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MrOrange1970, post: 2525580, member: 80547&quot;]Seeing that there are pits in other places of the coin, the idea of corrosion seems to be the most plausible. </p><p>I will say that I have done lots of experiments with coins (only of no numismatic value) but would never clean a coin and then ask for commentary.&nbsp;&nbsp; Hence if this was de-corroded, it wasn&#039;t me. </p><p><br /></p><p>One question for reference.&nbsp; If there was corrosion such as in the area of the wheat stalk to the left.&nbsp; Would it have acted as a protectant and when removed, the higher areas were worn but the wheat lines preserved? I always thought of corrosion as taking everything with it and removal leaving an indiscernible mess behind.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
