    My experience indicates "No, it won't tone appealingly."
    The paper had high sulfur content, so you basically went from silver to black.
    BUT
    Since my coins were stored away for a significant period of time (5-10 years), I missed any intermediate steps.
    Therefore I don't know what it looked like after shorter intervals of time.

    Since they were stored in a manner that allowed the sulfur even access to all surfaces, I don't believe the "target" pattern could have been achieved.
    That requires something more like album storage.

    That's what I suspected (the "experience" part.)

    I have a couple (right now) that have been in there for a couple of years and I am still awaiting the deep toning.

    Adding heat helps-- put it on a radiator.
