That said, there is a possibility that there is some corrosion in the silver underneath the rust. But there is also a good possibility there isn&#039;t any corrosion under the rust. That&#039;s why I&#039;d go with Jim&#039;s suggestion and dip the coins. It will remove the rust if done properly. And only then will you know what you&#039;ve got left - what the condition of the coins really is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
