I might would treat them with some Verdicare. A few of those spots look as if they could turn to verdigris if given half a chance.

The roll was probably not kept in the most environmentally stable location. However, I agree, still a decent find.  |

Probably does not need saying, but those carbon spots will continue to grow if not treated. I do not know which treatment is best to arrest an active carbon spot and will let others advise you on that. I can tell you that it can be slowed down by storage in a cool and dry atmosphere and it also helps to put them in a 2x2 flip. Another thing is that if in contact with another coin it can spread.

Are there collectors for these sorts of impaired/stained yet otherwise red cents? I have a boatload of them.

It seems that many red cents have carbon spots on them. I have seen many high grade cents with full luster only to have a carbon spots all over it.
