Kinda hard to tell. We have wheat pennies that look just like it that were either shot with a 22 or just punched!!!

Maybe half of a 2 piece button? Congrats on your find

That thing looks tiny, and the edge is sorta irregular, so my guess is either a furniture button or a leather button that originally had pointed tabs to hold it in place.

I agree with Trapperart's "maybe" suggestion... it looks like the brass back of a 2-piece button, missing the front and the thread-loop.

How old do you think it is?
