Hi commandD
The coins are still uncirculated even as they turn brown ,, there are threee distinct color descriptors for lincoln cents ,, Red -100% to 96% of the Full mint bloom is present on the coin ,, Red Brown - a coin that has from 95 % to 5% of its original color remaining ,, Brown - a coin with less than 5% of its original mint luster remaining there are several shades of brown ,,but brown is still brown no matter the shade.
the black spots on the lincolns are there to stay ,,I know of no treatment to remove them and have never seen any successfully treated to remove them .
