SC Button

[Twin Picks]

Found this beautiful South Carolina button thanks to Tylerbdad and his and some mud (long story). But I was hoping someone could help with the specifics on the identification. I am a bit green when it comes to Civil War items and there is no backmark. Any help is appreciated.
HH All!

Really hard to say which variety you have without a very clear picture. There are minute changes among the varieties. Looks like yours has no backmark? It may be the SC 16 variety from Albert's book. Does the middle word say " OPIBUS-QUE " or " OPIRUS-QUE "? Very nice find. I am sure that " long " story with TBD is funny A measurement in mm would be good too.

Stef 45Now I know who to call next time I participate in another one of Carl's "Mud Run" in a car. Yeah P@tch Mr TwinPicks (aka I Don't have Anyplace to hunt so could I just cherrypick your spots since you never find ANYTHING anyway) collection sure has jumped in size in the last couple of months. And Bonepicker as a matter of fact I actually NEVER find anything as I'm too busy finding places for Darin and Todd to Hunt so they can grow their relic collection. Darin that is a Great local CW button and came out if the ground looking beautiful. Glad you Finally posted it. BTW I hope that was payment enough for the tow

Thanks for the info! Here are a few more pictures showing size. And the button does read "OPIBUS-QUE" and yes, no back mark at all.
