According to my coin book, this shield nickel is the variety 1, with the rays between stars. So that puts this coin 1866-1867

Here is a closeup of the button. The flowers appear to have a gold sparkle look to them, as if it was gold plated when it was new.

Looks like it is the "with rays' version, so that would be 1866 or early '67. Very nice, congrats!

Be glad you got that detail of the rays to narrow the date. Shields are tough to find in good condition in the wild

Concur on the date range based on the rays.
