Not my field, but I'll say a solid EF.

Change your title , it is a 1787 Six pence
they never made a 1797 6d.
Grade in real world ( British ) VF , Once cleaned, with marks .
This is a typical example of how these appear .

Too much obvious wear for UK EF.

Yup bold VF Coin has started to take on that mushy appearance. Were it to be EF it would be sharp and no obvious wear would be visible certainly to the naked eye

Better than VF and a nice piece, I agree with Hogarth and the obvious wear suggests the coin has probably been cleaned some stage in the past, unless its been kept in a very cool climate (Canada, USA north of Lat43 and not Western states, Scotland, Scandinavia).

In my humidity capital, it would be black and gungy like most of my coins.

Also OP - You have a nice coin and I would say its a bit better than VF and getting close to gVF - so VF+

My earlier opinion just offered with no experience at all with these. Certainly VF makes sense.
