Button date?

Please help me identify this button. It is the exact width and thickness of a penny. No markings on front. The back says WARRANTED STANDARD E&B TREBLE RANGE.

Can't really read what's on it, but to me it looks like a uniform or coat button of some kind, perhaps from the 1920's to 1930's. I've found a few buttons like that with no markings.

What you have is generally called a "coin button", because with a blank face, it resembles a coin. Buttons started to get backmarked right around 1800. By the Civil War, new styles came into vogue and the flat type coin button went by the wayside. Best guess is your button dates from 1810-50.
