I thought I'd be the corrosion, but that grows on the surface, it doesn't eat at the coin.....right? Also in the picture of the edges, the blacker one is the one in question.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 10/23/2019 02:49 am Where did you get the idea that corrosion doesn't "eat" the coin? Corrosion most certainly deteriorates the surface of a coin! Corrosion is the gradual destruction of a material, in this case, this copper Indian. Normal weight for an Indian cent is 3.11 grams, so 2.7 with corrosion would be very normal. Report this Post to the Staff
