I would say VF 25 to VF 30, because I see some scratches on Britannia and on the rim.

EF (British grading)
Coin has been treated with sodium thiosulfate by The Royal Mint, to deliberately darken it.

The obverse is pretty good but I see evidence of wear to the high points on Britannia, so I'd go for UK GVF.

I'd go for GVF in view of the pit-marks (although they are somewhat superficial) to the finished surface of the coin.
