<p>[QUOTE="rascal, post: 1793409, member: 29239"]You have asked a good question here and it is hard to say for sure how the corrosion can eat away a coin without taking away the letters and date. I don't know how this works but I have seen coins eaten away by near half of their thickness and still the letters are there. I'm thinking that on corroded coins the corrosion attacts the weaker metal first and this may be what leaves the uneven patterns. coins are usually a alloy of different metals and the alloys sometimes don't get totally mixed together. on the obverse side of this coin there is what definately looks to be corrosion eaten areas so the reverse side may be also.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
