This could be divided into farthings...but quarter fartings were minted as whole coins...I have seen a pic of one marked 1859.....so not that far back

In your first post you said that you had never heard of a quarter farthing,Ah yes but you were are talking about quarter Fartings not Farthings and yes I am being, I think the word is pedantic but I will stand to be corrected as always.
.P.S. You cannot (quater) a long cross penny, only quarter it.
I must now make sure that I do not make "any" mistakes, Spelling or otherwise or I have no doubt that I shall receive a serious burst of flack.
Ha Ha. The Luddite.
