Any date or mint mark on the nickel? You may have to clean the buttons to see if there are any maker's marks on them.

Buffalo nickels are a fantastic coin. I don't find as many of them as I would like. Hopefully there are many more in your future!

Congratulations on your first Buffalo Nickel! :occasion14:
The button next to it is probably early to mid 1800s, like Rook mentioned. The ones with the holes I'm not sure about.

It's not a Dandy button but is circa 1830s.
The 4 hole button went on shirts & underwear, hard to date but probably early 1900s
