Not unusual for copper coins to be different colours. Chemical and environmental toning can change them to many different hues. It has nothing to do with the dies or the striking of the coins at the Mint.

Greenstang has this one just right R420Coins, as he usually does :).  Copper coins can display a variety of colors that they acquire from circulation and environmental conditions and all of your coins have hues that I've seen on US and Canadian cents in the past.  If your copper is old enough and exposed to the right conditions, it can even turn green.  Here's an example of that I recently acquired.  It's a Roman Sestertius of Empress Faustina the Younger from the late 140's CE or the early 150's CE:
