NY staff button from the civil war, very nice, does it say extra quality on the back?

wow :loveit: Tom thats a very nice civil war era New York officer's button and it looks like it still has lots of gold gilt under the dirt. great button :clapping::clapping:

 

[CTX Tom]

I was shocked at the condition too. Not deep at all,4" down.I think if I spend some time in the yard I'll find some old silver as well.

you seldom see them "biscuit" type buttons with out any dents or pushed in areas , I know the two similar New York buttons I have are both damage and or stripped of all their gilt . thats a very nice example sir .:clapping:

[BTV Digger]

Great button and in awesome condition. Agree that with proper cleaning you may be able to see more of that golden gilt.
