So saucy! Your comments are usually the best. Carry on buddy.
SC digger, the reference I have also lists the year as 1666:
"Richard Fellows: His farthing dated 1666 carried the image of 'Three sugar loaves' and the inscription 'RICH FELLOWS IN' on one side and 'R S F DORCHESTER 1666 R S F' on the other"

OK, checked the British Museum records and it is indeed 1666, the book on these is incorrect, unless there were 2 issue dates??
Hey Tommy. I dug it.
