My sister asked me to go through a bag of change of hers, because like the title says.. im a coin guy, not a button guy. I found this inside of it, a little research later and new account creation later.. and I present to to you a
Civil war (Union?) General Service Button Dated (1830-1860s)?
Back says “SCOVILLS & C° • Extras •”
Front has an eagle, the shield has vertical lines in the bottom portion and a blank top portion (potentially stars which have rusted away?)
Anyway, my research tells me there are a million different variations and specific use cases. If anyone could provide a specific answer as to what this is, and its worth, that would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and I apologize for being able to stumble onto something like this.. dont want to insult anyones time spent in this hobby with this beginners luck.
