I'll say button...just a guess... it seems too perfectly round if that makes sense...Just found this detecting a felid in Massachusetts about the size of a half cent but thinner. There is some detail but not sure what it is
Nope definitely a coin, I see the letter E for an inscription around 1 edge & detail on both sides.Likely a button. A coin wouldn't crumble on the edges.

I wouldn't question either you, or Red-Coat, let alone both. Your opinion was up, when I posted my thoughts. It wasn't argumentative. Haven't seen too many coins with crumbling breaks before. Thanks for the correction.Nope definitely a coin, I see the letter E for an inscription around 1 edge & detail on both sides.
PS. cross-over post with Red-Coat. It's a coin.
Thanks I never even noticed the letterIf you’re showing both sides of it, I’m not convinced it’s a button. It seems to have designs on both sides, and no sign of where an attachment loop might have been.
In your first picture at 9 o’clock, I can see the lower half of a letter ‘E’, above the outline of what looks like the top of an armorial, and another letter with a single upright (or possibly an 'N') the other side of it:

In your second picture, on the lower half at 7 o’clock I can see what looks like the outline of a large arrow pointing upwards, with perhaps a double-stemmed letter or ‘Roman’ numeral ‘II’ in the pointed portion:

...with the little bit of edge loss it could be the six deniers!
Funny, I was going to throw out French as a best guess, but thought better of it, as I couldn't see anything I recognised.Another tough one...thanks to Red Coat it might be this...based on measurements it could be close
