Yes, some nice wheat cents residing for many years in old coin books (like Whitman folders) can develop compromised reverses under certain conditions.

Kinda looks like the obverses have been cleaned/wiped at some point. John1  ( I'm no pro, it's just my humble opinion )

They have been handled. No idea how long Mom had these. Only worth a penny?

For circulated, common-date wheat cents, they are usually worth a few cents rather than face value.

Agree a couple of these seem to have been cleaned. As to value, they may be worth 2 cents apiece in copper bullion, but you're not going to get that price from a dealer or anyone else. To me, these are all spenders unless they have "sentimental" value.  to the CCF! |

Reverse verdigris, formed by moisture trapped between the reverse and some sort of medium. This are pretty common coins and worth only a few cents each.
