<p>[QUOTE="red_spork, post: 7680333, member: 74282"]"Corrosion" can mean different things. There are stable coins that won't or haven't changed in decades with photographic evidence(i.e. old catalog photos) and there are those that with active corrosion that will continue corroding over the course of weeks, months or years. If the corrosion is active, this can be a pretty serious issue and in general I try to avoid such coins, but it's not always obvious. If the corrosion is stable, especially if there's evidence that it hasn't changed in several years, it doesn't bother me much if the coin otherwise ticks all the boxes for me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
