Toning. Nickel can tone many colours depending on the environment it was exposed to.

This one also looks like it might be polished. I could be wrong.

A reaction to environmental agents over time. And yes, does have a bit of a burnished look.

Agree, I think this coin was polished and is now toning back in an unnatural color.

Looks more along the lines of plated to me. Regardless, not original surfaces.
