Yes likely buried in soil for a period of time. I don't have a specific explanation for the copper-colored patch, but that could be environmental exposure as well I suppose.

I don't know what exactly, but the only logical explanation is environmental damage/discoloration.

Note the areas that are normal colored? This is where the coating on the coin was rubbed off. If this were a Copper issue, the copper color would not rub off. More just a spender, than to waste much time on these.
