    To answer the question. Yes.

    Exposure to the elements and many hands and fingers do tone those cents.

    Yep. Try metal detecting.

    As stated above, yes and darker. Is the color in the images accurate vs color in hand?

    Yep.

    I have seen them so dark you have to hold them in the light just right to see the features to confirm what it is.

    Those coins are from "The Dark Side".

    They are called "Darth Vader Cents".

    Copper plucked out of the soil can exhibit an array of colors. Wait til you pull one out of an old campfire.

    Sulphur could do it.
