🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Need help on a button ID

[Joe-Dirt]

me and fast Eddy went to one of our spots that’s getting turned over a lot lately, last time I was there I got my white whale 2 cent piece after the farmer had disced the field. Today, other side of the property, he did the same and he kicked up some stuff……. Anyway, I found an interesting two piece button about 6-8” down, solid 72 on my Deus. It’s in really good shape and was dug from a very old spot that has given up 17th, 18th and 19th century coins and relics.
from a google search, the closest I could find was a Jacksonian button but I don’t think so…….please help, V nickel for size comparison.
thank you and HH

Wheat and sickle button is nice.
Have you had a chance to clean up the back of it as of yet?
Good hunt.

I can't help with your button I.D., but I love the 'Vickie' LC.

I found the post below made by TheCannonballGuy last year on a similar Wheat & Sickle button find. From my own research, these are also commonly referred to as 'Livery Buttons'.

"Your find is definitely what button-collectors call a "Jacksonian" button -- because it is a unique form of button which was made during the administration of American president Andrew Jackson (late-1820s/early-1830s). Basically, it is a brass 1-piece flat button with an applied rim. All of that being said, most were manufactured in Britain... which explains your find's extremely unusual back mark. They are civilian, and not Livery. There are many-many emblems, a few of which are "patriotic" but most are just general." – TheCannonballGuy

It is an agricultural themed civilian picture button.
