Flat Button Age Needed

[coinman123]

I found this button today, it looks like it is made out of tombac. I have found many tombac buttons but not like this, most a quite big and thin, this is small and thick. The back is cone like too.

Front is smooth and black.

Yep, you got it, a tombac.

Nice dig,

Found one just like it coinman- definitely a tombac. The diameter would help in determining age.

About the size of a penny, maybe slightly larger.
