Hasn&#039;t arrived at my house yet but very excited.

How likely is said corrosion to spread? Is there anything I can do?</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><i>Just a few more questions here:</i></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Where should I catalogue these ancient coins online? </b></p><p>Right now I&#039;m using Numista but taking a look around I couldn&#039;t track this coin down.
