Large Flat Button

[nolanation]

Found this flat button today. Larger than a quarter, closer to half dollar size. Potential Rev War area. Have minorly cleaned it a bit and am seeing stars on it. Any idea with the ID and age?

Very nice button! Looks like stars all around?

I see 6 stars, rays and possibly a liberty cap in the middle. I'm trying. Better pics? Was this cleaned already or no?

There are 8 stars total. I may hit it with a little peroxide to loosen some of the other dirt up.

Here is a better pic. There was something inside of the stars...

Very nice button. These "dandy" buttons were very popular in the 1770's through about the 1790's. I found a monster the same size as your today.
