U.S. Official & Diplomatic 1790-1820's Button Dug Today **UPDATE**

Dug a bunch of stuff today with this being the most interesting. It "looks"close to one of the buttons in Albert's Unclassified and Unidentified Section... button UU132B but it is not exactly right. Anyone have any idea??

**UPDATE** ID'ed as a U.S. Official & Diplomatic
1790-1820's
1pc. cast brass, 15mm
BM:"Blank"
Eagle facing right. The motto:"E Pluribus Unum" in ribbon above eagle. "United States of America" encircling.

Probably the best button I have dug in years!!!! ;-) Thanks for the ID Montana Jim!!!
