Hey everyone. I found this small flat button in an area that is predominantly known for late 1800s to the present day as it’s an old park. Prior to being a park it was a private property/farm that dates back to the 1840s. The family that owned the property sold it to the city which then turned it into a park in the 1890s. I have never found a flat button before as the area I am in is mostly city and suburbs with a lot of disturbed ground. I haven’t been able to reveal any kind of back mark but it looks like it had a silver wash on it that is now peeling off. Anyway I was hoping some of guys with more experience with these buttons would let me know what you think. Is it early 1800s to 1840s or possibly just a 1900 era button. Any thoughts would be appreciated. The Mercury dime is for scale.
