Yes, I think this as well. Although not my series, many coins that are not fully struck up have variable oxidation and colour to the "high" points - the metal is not as dense and also may be in contact with envelope or cabinet surfaces & not necessarily be friction at all.
Another somewhat related issue is that planchets are not always that well treated in any sense of the word prior to striking and so the high points may not fully "strike out" planchet defects or issues....
Love that Milled British (1830-1960) Well, just Love coins, period.

Looks AU to me.
What do you think?
I think it maybe 😊
Worth a submission.
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
Even if AU, you're always better IMO putting this line in plastic when it comes to reselling. I think it's a 62 from the pictures
