Is there a backmark on it? Plain or stippled front? My guess would be 1820s based on what I can see.

I dont see any words on the back at all. It is a raised button not a flat one. It has 15 five point stars on it. Not asteriks..... most of what im seeing is dating it between 1810-1830 which is a pretty safe bet.. thanks!

Oh yea that's an Old one.
Good thing the Navy had to patrol "Old Man River" back in the Day.
Awesome Find.
