    The copper coating is tarnished. Exposure to fingers and environment does a good job in tarnishing copper from reddish to brown.

    Copper is a reactive metal and will tone when exposed to numerous things in the environment. Can't say specifically what it is without analytical tests, but It doesn't look unusual

    Sure we will. After the zombie apocalypse and the collapse of civilization, they'll be grinding those coins into arrowheads and other weaponry.
