Need ID on button like find

[zaxfire69]

Hello everyone. This item was found close to a home built in 1812. This item looks like it is copper or brass. It is the size of a tombac button, but it has this little spike on the back of it. On the front there is an image of what appears to be a skull and what looks to me to be a date under the skull of 17?? I can make out the 17 but the other numbers aren't very clear. If you have ever seen something like this please let me know. I am stumped.

I don't know what this is. I have found tombac buttons on this site. It is built like a tombac, but is different.

I cant see the skull or the numbers in the pic. Can anybody else see it? .

Coffin nail? If it is a skull on it, that would be self explanatory.........NGE

Here I circled the date at the bottom and the skull image...

Now do you see them?

No. I think the picture is out of focus. Can anybody else see it?
