My cousin is working on knocking down an old house. And a worker found this on the ground. Any clue on what era it's from?

I'm know expert but I can't find an example of this one does it have any back marks? Hh
 

I won't have the button until this weekend. I told my cousin not to clean until I see it. I'm hoping to find something on the back to tell me more.
 

I think its very safe to say......"no",(not C.W)looks like a fairly modern civvy type button to me
 

I believe it is from 1963 the 100th anniversary of Gettysburg, I have seen one other example years ago. And that was the explanation given to me.
