What year is this coin?

[Beau]

Hello, I bought this coin and the seller said it was a 1733 farthing, but it doesn't look like 1733, maybe 1735? Can anyone provide some insight?

I'd say definitely 1735. This is what the 1733 date looks like:

I struggled with that date too in my collection until I was able to compare examples of both dates.

unfortunately 1735 and 36 are both common

Also not helped by the 5/3s which leaves people wondering what the hell they've bought.

I have a rather nice 1736, 3 over 5. These are much harder to find.

Thank you everyone, and nice coins.

A  1754 4 over 0 is even rarer it took me years to find a decent one

Certainly scarce, but I would have to disagree; examples can always be found offered for sale, whereas 1736, 3 over 5, is almost never seen. Even old Colin Cooke and Farthing Specialist lists regularly include the 1754, 4 over 0, often listed in a range of grades, but I've yet to find either offering a single example of 1736, 3 over 5.
