Found this button at my 1845 homestead site. One piece. Slightly larger than a dime. The face is convex at the center. The back is flat. It is so crusty I can not determine if there is any detail of design or any maker mark. There is a small amount of silver plate still remaining.
I am wondering if this could be an example of a home-spun button but the silver puts that in doubt for me.
Any idea of age?
