Question about this button I found.

I was looking at some respones to "relikusmc's" recent post below and was wondering about this button.
The responses he got were that if the button has an iron back, It is post Civil War era.
I found this one some years ago around an old house site along with quite a few other military buttons, (block I, block A, script I and A and some state buttons) and assumed
this too was a button from the Civil War.
Since it has an "A" on it, I felt sure it was from that era.
Not sure it has a tinned back or iron, but it sightly attracted to a magnet.
All the other buttons found at this site were all brass.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Nice !! Definitely CW, we call'm "Tin back". Block, Script, and state buttons, man hope you still check back in on that site, bound to be a Confederate buckle of some type in the area.

Thanks, I have not been back for a while, but still on my list.
We found some nice buttons there, but no coins.
A couple other finds were part of a powder flask and part of a brass spur.
A buckle would be nice!!

Who needs coins with those kind of buttons coming out the ground. I'll trade you a great coin site for a run at that button site. (y)

That turned out to be a great site for my buddy and I.
We found such a wide variety of buttons
there.
