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

So saucy! Your comments are usually the best. Carry on buddy.

Just matter of fact as always, in this case the books wrong, it happens, that's why I warn on some book references.

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"

Best using the British Museum collection in future, that's not such a reliable source but as it happens it more reliable than the book in this case.

Wow! Nice one there. Very off the beaten path of what normally turns up in the states. I'd have been thrilled with that. :occasion14:
