I found this button near an old abandoned farm in Minnesota. Does anyone know if it's worth anything?

Hey Desterby, the backmark would date it 1864-1868. Worth around $35-$45 in very good condition. You can see the same button for sale here: http://www.civilwaroutpost.com/buttons.htm scroll down to BT12...........A nice Civil War period relic.........HH
