1858 Flying Eagle One Cent and a spider flat button

[Ace 350]

My oldest coin to date. I'm happy with it. I also found this flat button with a spider on it. Anyone know how old it is or its origins?

Congrats on your new oldest coin, I have yet to find a flying eagle.

Kinda creepy but very cool. The spider button may have been off a 19th century Halloween costume

Nice Flying Eagle cent still looking for my first here also ! First time I've seen a button like that posted it looks to be very old also, was it found near the Eagle cent?

I bet that button belonged to this guy - Dr. Arliss Loveless of the movie "Wild Wild West". Joking aside it is definitely interesting.
