Well, since 1992 all Great Britain 2 Pence coins have been made of copper-plated steel. This is a very thin layer of copper and harsh/vigorous polishing (especially with abrasive powders) can easily remove this coating. I gently polished a 2 pence piece with a soft cloth and it did not become silvery but remained that rosy color of new copper.
