Really nice color and a great original look.

I like the color, strike, centering, etc., but what about the planchet defect at 12 o'clock? Does this alter the value of the coin?

Compared to what? A totally original, extremely eye-appealing, perfectly centered coin with a full ring of denticles on the outer border?
I don't know of such a coin, but if one were to appear, it would sell for a boatload of money.
Edited to add that my comment is specific to the Noe 1 Large Planchet Pine Tree Shilling (the variety seen here). Other types, including small planchet varieties made on a screw press, can be found with much higher "build quality".
