Can someone help me ID and date this flat button?

[JimK]

Hello All,
I found this flat button last weekend. It is between the size of a dime and penny (give or take). It was found in the area of a Civil War camp, but was wondering if it was older, war period or maybe post war. There are no markings front or back.
Thanks for the help.

Probably civil war or earlier but I can't say for sure

No problem it's very general and there are some inconsistencies but it'll give you a good idea
