    Maybe heated to high temperature?

    There are annealing errors that give the coin a copper color but the coins struck from those planchets have luster the same as normally struck coins. The lack of luster and the rusted look of the reverse, lend evidence of environmental damage.

    I'm guessing the outer layer was taken off. I have one like that.
