Passed The Button "Test" today

I found this unusual button with the iron back rusted off at a house built in the 1840's that was used as a hospital during the Civil War. I'm sure it's a modern overall button, but any help on identifying what it is would be appreciated

I'd love to have that button to bury under a friends coil As for the age, its almost impossible to give it a date if its an ironback other than a round about guesstimation since there's no backmark. I'd say late 18-early 1900s
