Colour looks fine on the first coin. I don't think its DP9 on the second coin. Just dirt.

It's a different metallic composition than modern coins

Coins from 1858-1859 (Province of Canada) weigh 4.54 grams with a diameter of 25.4 mm. They have a composition of .950 copper, .040 tin, .010 zinc. ( http://www.jandm.com/script/getitem...CID=3&PID=76 )

vs. the moderns (since 1942) of .980 copper, .005 tin, .015 zinc.

Actually they are not all that expensive. Routinely under $10 on ebay.
