What about the toning on these lincoln cents??

I'm not much on Lincolns.....but these have been stored for a long period of time in coin envelopes.

Some have taken on a dullness on the side in contact with the paper, but others have very colorful greens. Being common coins, would this toning be of interest to Lincoln collectors?

There is no glare in the pics, the color is pretty much as you see here.

    Some collectors get very excited about such color. I'm not one of them.
    All glory is fleeting.

    I tend to agree, especially since I'm not really into Lincolns. But I don't want to short the seller and I wanted to see if anyone would cry AT.

    I mean, these could go for thousands with the right cool aid! image
