Mintmark is triangle in circle I think, and it is 1641-3, Tower Mint under the King. (1639-40 is just triangle without the circle)

Charles I shillings are common in low grade but scarce in high. Yours is quite well struck for the reverse and the flan is round. It's a bit unfortunate there are some fresh scratches and rubbing.

ah yes, you are correct, I put this down to the warm weather and lack of sleep

1641-3 Triangle circled.

the condition is also to be my fault, it was mixed in with loads other coins for ages and just ended up being roughly handed......ooops 😕
