Not much left of it and it's very thin. It appears to have some lettering around the edge, but I can't quite make it out. Any info would be much appreciated. button 007.JPGbutton 008.JPG
 

Early navy 1812ish?

Early navy 1812ish?
It certainly has that 1812ish feel about it, but the style of the eagle strikes me as just a hair earlier. Heck, I'm not even sure it's button!

I know what you mean about the style of the eagle looking older, it looks that way to me too.
It does look a little bit like an 1812 navy button...
