Ever seen a New York button like this?

[GRAY GHOST]

Hey everybody. I dug this button about three weeks ago in a known cw area, and surrounded by various cw relics. It's a big overcoat sized button - 28mm, and has no backmark. Tice's book has some similar pieces on pg. 381, but none match. Could it be a postwar piece? Any help is appreciated.

GG,

I have dug some post war NY buttons before in N. Ga. but none like these. I have a friend who is a NY button expert (he has found tons of them), I will ask him to take a look for you.

Yes, its late 1870-1880s N.Y. button.

Thanks for the replies, gents. I had the idea the button may have been postwar, and glad that we have so many knowledgeable people here on the forums. It is ODD how we sometimes dig up the postwar relics at known CW sites!
