<p>[QUOTE=&quot;usmc60, post: 2525617, member: 76739&quot;]All I know is from my practical experience. There is all kinds of corrosion. I know you&#039;ve all been driving and seen that unpainted piece of steel pole alongside the road. And you&#039;ve notice that red coloration look. That is commonly known as surface rust. Or surface corrosion. I will show you a coin here that when I received it. You basically could not tell it was a coin. It had over 100 years of dirt and debris encrusted on it. The only thing that indicated it was a coin was the circular dimensions. The rest looked like something a kid would make in a mudhole. I only wish I would&#039;ve taken photos of the coin prior. And you know the saying curiosity killed the cat. Just like my pet rattlesnake that the cat wasn&#039;t supposed to play with but curiosity got him killed. At first I tried a warm soapy soak for a couple of days with no result. Let me say this is what resulted after I got finished. Now you can tell it&#039;s a coin and even the date.

In my opinion that can occur when the surface corrosion comes off. Key word there is surface.
