Charles I shilling Mintmark please?

Hi, anyone any idea whether this is genuine/what the mintmark on this is?

Many thanks

Genuine? I believe so. Mint mark? Anchor.

S.2785 Sharp B3/2

My personal view? Not sure about the yellow patch. A couple of the other coins from this seller seem to have similar. If they are from old sellotape it will come off easily enough with acetone. But if it's something like Araldite ...

Thanks, it is an odd colour and a very odd anchor, quite unlike any others I have seen.

Many thanks again.

Looks orrible/genuine to me! Difficult to call the deposit, especially in light of the swirled obverse left field...very odd? Glue is generally one-sided, so not sure what to think?

I'd buy this one at a price, thinking I had to live with the colour...a bonus it it comes away with acetone!

It's also a sixpence, not a shilling!
