Good luck with the auctions....
Most of these coins looked cleaned or dipped in my opinion.

Could be. Although maybe not dipped nor cleaned conventionally. I'm able to achieve a similar look using NaHCO3, a pinch of NaCl and boiling H2O in an Al foil-lined bowl. The process seems to release the S in the tarnish (yes, you can smell it), but apparently does not remove any Ag.
Disclosure: I don't clean my silver coins but I have experimented with baking soda using American and Canadian junk 25c and 10c pieces and a couple of environmentally damaged lower-content foreign jobs. The goal was to restore my Dad's blackened WWII service medals without using acids or abrasives. I always hated seeing polish-dipped gongs on parade and I wanted to avoid any resemblance of that. Leaving just the right amount of shadow around the relief areas, my home-made electro-chemical bath worked brilliantly.
Cheers

Verdigris:
Look at the 1967:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/1867-1967-Canadi ... 9c4&_uhb=1
This coin is spotless of any tone or tarnish with the exception of touch between the denticles and rim at the 5 o'clock position on the goose side...
To me this is where the tongs held the coin... it could also be reflection.
On the obverse side ... look inside the D and G... there's a difference between inside the letters and the rest of the fields. "Elizabeth" just looks wrong .. can't put my finger on it...
In the hair of the queen there's a LOT of pitting... which also looks like a whizz job ...
This guy could totally be legit... but for me there's too many red flags for me ... I could be wrong.. I hope I am...
