Lewis & Tomes button/Looped 9 Indian Head cent

[aka da Prof]

I just closed on a house ©1811! the first thing to do was cut the 'sapling forest' back 10' from the basement then detect!! These two 'treasures' came up by the front steps leading from the road. A silver plated 'EXTRA' Lewis & Tomes Invantry button and a 'Looped 9' Indian Head cent. Any info welcome on these two items, please. I read of L&T buttons were made from 1810-30, but no info in the red book on a 'looped 9' I H cent. I'm trying to post pix, but my files are not just right for this site. will keep trying to post. ♬ da Prof ♬

Does the backmark on your button read "Lewis and Tomes" or "Lewis and Tome"?
