The US Army's official Regulations for the very-specific design of emblem on that buttons face say 1854-to-1875.

Prior to 1854 the eagle's shape wasn't as "symetrical" as the eagle on your button, and the shield had a letter on it. In 1875 the form of the shield was changed, to a highly-raised shield.
