need button IDs

[CladMaster]

The one above the penny says something like RICH~~GOLD~~something. I think it is copper, pretty heavy and fairly convex. The one beside the penny says IMPERIAL QUALITY I think. The little one has nothing on the back. The backs scan blurry.

Thanks

These look like smaller sized flat buttons c.1840-60. The one with the elaborate design might date a little earlier.

Here's a link to my post on buttons, which will explain the marks on the back of them:

Thanks BuckleBoy! The ornate one indeed says "rich gold color" wrapped around the shank just like your post says.
