Button, button, how old is this button?

[StinkinLincoln]

Found this two piece, gilt button today in the vicinity of an 1800’s foundation. It’s about the size of a quarter and has “SUPERIOR QUALITY EXTRA RICH” stamped on the back. Looks old to me, any ideas how old?

Two piece button with that back mark I would date 1840s-60s.

Thanks! Also found an old copper but it is so toasted that I can’t tell what it is.
Have you been out?
