Thoughts on this James I shilling

[atscaper 1]

Recently picked up this shilling at a coin shop. While in the process of cataloging it I noticed some differences with this shilling to others I have and that I can find online or in my reference books.  The legend on the reverse is missing the AE after the QV right after the mint mark. The other difference is in the top left corner of the shield. I can see that sometimes when the lis(s) are worn they appear as a heat shape but on my coin it appears that it is simply a heart, not worn down lis. The bottom right of the shield may have the heart too but it's a little worn there to tell for sure. The fact that it is multiple stuck reinforces my thought that it's not worn that way.  Any thoughts? Cheers.

Apologies for the slightly blurry cell phone pictures.

I would say blocked dies for the shield because it looks as though there is a trace of the bottom one with a bit of profile detail. The missing AE is yet another spelling mistake. There are quite a few in James. There is a possibility that the obverse mark is lis over thistle.
