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

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.
