US Button? or What

found this earlier today. Not sure what it is. The diameter is 1 3/4 in across. The back broke off when I dug it up.

Oops, didn't notice the size when I said collar tab. that's what I get for just looking at the picture.

My guess is it's a bridle rosette considering it's that big

Yes... I agree.

One and three quarter inches is the exact US Army rosette size.

In addition, the lettering makes me believe it's Indian War era or later.
