<p>[QUOTE="gsimonel, post: 6608720, member: 82549"]The corrosion likely contains metal from the surface of the coin that has reacted with chemicals in the soil that it was buried in. It's not just something built up on the surface of your coin; it's part of your coin. If you remove it, you will uncover a rough, pitted surface. It might look better without the corrosion, but it might look worse. Hard to say. Are you willing to sacrifice your coin in the name of science?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
