<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3058412, member: 112&quot;]First of all I&#039;m not singling you out here, just trying to make a point, and your comment does a good job of illustrating why it needs to be made. Maybe not for you, but for others.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, what is corrosion ? What is the difference between corrosion and corroded, if there even is a difference ? Can corrosion be removed ? Given the comments that a lot of people make on a regular basis I&#039;m not sure that they understand these things.</p><p><br /></p><p>I really don&#039;t know how to explain it other than this. Corrosion is a physical action, it is the metal decaying, an eating away of the metal, the metal turning from one thing into a completely different thing that is no longer metal at all. And once corrosion begins it is there forever, it cannot ever be removed. </p><p><br /></p><p>Think of rust on a piece of steel. The rust itself is not the corrosion, the rust is nothing more than the result of the corrosion. It is a substance that used to be metal but is no longer metal at all. And once a piece of steel begins to rust, the damage caused to that steel is always there and it will never go away. Sure you can remove the rust, but you can never remove the holes, pits, depressions, call it whatever you want, in the steel that were created when the steel corroded. </p><p><br /></p><p>The exact same thing happens with coins. Coins corrode, just like all metals, and once they do they are damaged forever.</p><p><br /></p><p>What CBD did to this coin is just like removing the rust from a piece of steel. He removed the result of the corrosion, but not the effects of the corrosion. The effects can never be removed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
