Probably high AU, there's little apparent wear, but that obverse toning/environmental damage (?) may put this beyond help.

Why do you think this is ED or corrosion? Looks like weird toning to me. TBH it does look better in hand.

There is a lot more wear on there than AU warrants. The eyebrow is considerably flattened at the back of the eye and the hairlines don't have much depth above the ear. I'd say EF because it appears it could still have some luster on the obverse.

looks very similar to carbon spotting, I've dug similar looking coins detecting, not many but a few silvers, it seemed like highly fertilized areas where I found them

EF+ or a low AU...besides the eyebrows and hair on the obverse, the heraldic symbols look worn on the reverse shield. Hard to tell with the carbon toning. I wouldn't classify it as ED.

Slight wear on the eyebrow, cheek below the eye and earlobe.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

The toning on this one almost kills me..  I would say AU-50ish seems right. |

agree with au , just. Yeah, in hand it has a lot more luster and the black splotches on the obverse are a lot less visible. Also the yellowish tint is from the incandescent bulb so actually the colour is quite natural (aside from the toning, of course). |
