Please help identify flat button

Hello.
Been researching the back mark on this flat button and coming up empty. Came out of cornfield where blacksmith shop used to sit circa 1820-1880. Any thoughts? Thx. Billy

I can see the top says "Improved" but I can't read the bottom. Do you know what is on the bottom half?

Hi. Thanks for reply. The other words say MINT EDGE.
