Warriorz510 Valued Member United States 184 Posts	Posted 08/14/2018 02:33 am Got it! Is it common for one side to corrode and not the other? The reverse has zero corrosion Report this Post to the Staff
CRHer Valued Member United States 221 Posts	Posted 08/14/2018 04:46 am The corrosion of the coin depends on how it was exposed to what caused it to corrode (The reverse could have been protected from the corrosion while the obverse was exposed) Report this Post to the Staff

Not as common as both sides having roughly equal amounts of corrosion, but also not super-rare.

Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 08/14/2018 4:19 pm Definitely one side could have more damage if the other side, in this case the reverse was protected in some way. KK Report this Post to the Staff
