I really need to study photos of colonial coppers and other large cents! When I first saw it in the hole, I thought this 1917 British large penny was a Connecticut colonial copper. What a tool! Still a neat coin to find in Rhode Island, but hardly a CT copper!
You can see why I came up with this idea from the two photos below. I saw the trident on the right side of the coin and it looked a lot like a CT copper. Plus, I found an 1817 large cent last year about 40 feet from this spot. That helped to fuel my imagination, I guess.
Oh well, finding a 97 year old coin is still a good day for me...
