Andrew Jackson Inaugural Button

[vpone]

Hello All,

Vp here, I was cleaning my metal detector getting ready to go hunt tommorrow and I just happened to open up my button box and started trolling thru them. Now I know very little about buttons, but I remember everyone saying if they were one piece buttons that they might be older. So I found 4 or 5 that still had some gold on them and starting cleaning them up a bit.

This one turned out to be an Andrew Jackson Inaugural button. It doesn't have much of anything on the front (except a little gold color) but the back clearly reads "Andrew Jackson March 4 1829" ! Can't remember where I foudn it but it was probably a year or two back.

Any idea of the worth ?

Thanks in advance,

vp
