Re: Button ID Needed
A one-piece button with the "s" on "Scovill"... means it was during the decade when the two brothers operated the business.    1830's.
Nice button.

Re: Button ID Needed
Agreed, Tice has it 1827-1840, I believe I have the identical button somewhere or close to it. All the old design buttons are nice artifacts to find.
Scovills was used as early as 1827 on buttons made to order by state of Texas and also in 1828 for the US Military Academy.

"The mantra has always been don't clean a (copper) coin or it will lose value.
For undug coins this is true. For dug coins this is untrue.
The value will increase with judicious cleaning."
