Found last week at the same spot the US Liberty Cap Half Cent was found. It has definite markings around at least part of the border, still has a shank, I did rebend it somewhat, it is about the size of a GW Inaugural button. What do you see?

Looks like a fancy border Dandy button, probably similar to the large 35mm brass dandy buttons shown below.

I think you're right. I thought I saw something in the middle put did some additional cleaning, and couldn't see anything else. The edge detail is easier to see now.
