Button ID help. My first post with resized picture

[NJ Marty]

I finally got a decent camera so I can post some finds, and I figured out how to resize them for easier viewing. Hope these resized ones will be easier on the eyes. I have been browsing TN for awhile now and think its Just great. I found this button last weekend in a park that has been hit hard over the decades but always seem to find a goodie. This button has stumped me. Its a flat button with a nice eagle on the back and the front appears to be plain. I cant make out the makers mark and where the shank is broken off there appears to be a sheild. Any help would be great.

I agree that it looks promising but I cant help with the ID. Someone here will ID it quickly. Interesting that the eagle appears to have been on the back of the button.

The Eagle design looks super old , with my non existent button knowledge I would guess the minting of this button to be late 1700s to early 1800s
