✅ SOLVED Button help plz

Found this last summer it came in at around 83 just like a silver dime. It's heavy and looks old but its in really good shape so I'm not sure anyone know how old it is where it was made ect. Thanks in advanced

I think you need better close up pic's.

I believe it's from the "golden age" of gilt buttons, roughly 1830's-40's and think the B B stands for Benedict & Burnham.
One site online says the B&B backmark was used 1834-43. Online sources often have mistakes, but for this button that seems right.

Sweet thanks well it's about 80 years older than I was thinking. Probably my oldest button I'll have to take a closer look around that area. Does a button like this have any collectors value?

Hi; I agree with the 1834 Era Date. I can see a Federal Eagle with the 13 Stars above it's Head. The Head is facing Left. I doubt it has any value due to condition. When I first saw it I thought it was a GWI Button but it is not ok. Nice find. Especially right under a Modern Dime. Yup, I'd go back and search that area VERY SLOWLY. There should be more there. Just dig EVERYTHING. I think you will be amazed at what pops up ok. Good Luck. PEACE:RONB

Hi; This is the GWI Button I was thinking of but yours has stars above the head. This one does not even though the Eagle looks about right ok.
Here is the pic:

Good Hunting. PEACE:RONB
