Got back to a place where I found 1798, 1801, and 1817 LCs. I pulled 2 buttons today. One is a plain flat button with "Benedict & Coe" backmark, from 1829-1834. Another has a decorative front, and the back reads "Superior Gold Color" and has some of the original threads on the shank. Does anyone know what type of button this is or approximately when it is from?

Thanks!!

Pretty button. Looks like a fancy, English made civilian button from the 1820's or 30's.
