Hi coin community, I have a quick question. I found a roll of all 1962 to 1978 copper cents that just don't look right. At first glance they have an almost unnatural amount of shine to them but seem to almost be the wrong shade of copper color. On top of that, there are spots that are unusually black. At first, I thought these were in unusually god condition, but have started ordering if they could have been dipped or treated in some way to achieve this effect. Is there. Product that cn be applied to cause this? If pics would help I can post a couple, but have had the hardest time posting good pictures in this forum.

The coins also seem to show an almost exaggerated amount of detail. Any ideas on what I have found?

Oh, and btw, there are no S mints, all P or D.

Yes, please post a few full, large and sharp pics of obverses and reverses. Perhaps just a couple sample coins from the roll.
