Variety is the 1787 Shilling without Semee of Hearts, S3743. All relevant stops are present, so not one of the scarcer varieties.
On UK grading system I would say "Good Very Fine". There is wear on most of the high spots to hold it back, although it is a very handsome example. Mine, which is slightly better, just makes EF.
Having said that, many of the UK auction houses seem to be drifting more and more towards over-grading on the old standards, so I would not be surprised to see yours listed as EF.
