✅ SOLVED Not sure if it’s an old flat button missing the shank

[WVExplorer]

Found it today in an area where I’ve found old coins and other flat buttons

Either looks like it had a shank welded on at one time or was welded to something else.

Very thin and slightly concave. Appears to be brass. Potentially some design on the front.

I have read some late 18th century civilian flat buttons being this thin

Appreciate any input.
