Correct!
The Shire is the answer.
Take four coins, add another one or two, - The Shire is made up of four Farthings, plus Buckland and (later) the Westmarch.
A ruler born, a ruler made, a ruler over stream, - The Mayor, Thain, and Master of Buckland, respectively, all posts eventually held by members of the Fellowship. (Frodo was briefly deputy mayor, as well.)
Visit York, Lancaster, take a horse and you - YorkSHIRE, LancaSHIRE, and a SHIRE horse. I also mentioned Gloucester[SHIRE] at least once.
Will find in the end a helper's hopeful dream. - I don't know if Sam dreamed of the Shire specifically, but he certainly longed for it.
