I am no expert by any means but I have seen similar scenes on G.A.R. buttons. (Grand Army of the Republic) I think. Cool find keep em' swinging.

It's a Kentucky State seal. Late 1800's Not civil war but still a cool find and a nice button If it weren't damaged it would be probably be worth about $15 or $20. With the rim damage I'm guessing 5 to 10 While the civil war period Ky's are worth quite a bit the post war are not. It's that way with all buttons
