Common Wealth Button?

[Brewha08]

Just dug this button after work today. Front shows an Indian with Common Wealth written on sides. On the back it reads A.M Peasle/Boston.

Any help Iding would be great. Thanks


Edit: the button is concave

That is a real nice one. I can't remember the state but it definitely reminds me of an old copper

What a great find. Nice collectors item. A.M Peasle/Boston on the back is the button maker. Here's a link to some of his history from wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Peasley

Does anyone know what timeframe it would have come from?

Peasley was an engraver and die-sinker from at least 1810 to 1823. According to Albert's Button book it is listed as MS 46B Ancient and Honorable Artillery and dates to 1810. Very nice find.
