South Carolina Coat Button. SC13/Tice SC248A23.
Bm blank with a depressed channel. 23mm. Dug in Virginia. This in not a pretty
button but I like it because it was covered with a layer of black paint and may
have been a sharpshooter's button. There is a medium push in the front. The
stand up shank is solid. No repairs. There is quite a bit of ground action
with this specimen, but solid with no holes or repairs.

South Carolina Coat Button. SC11/Tice SC244A1.
Dug in Central Virginia. Bm Canfield Bro & CO.*/Batimor. The front is solid
with a slight push at 10:00 O'clock. It is not a deep push. Quite a bit of
gilt remains and the very solid button is covered with a nice chocolate
brown patina front and back. The back mark is very readable and the stand
up shank is strong and solid. Along the rim on the back are two manufacturing
flaws which shows that even Northern manufacturers suffered from some of
the same difficulties that later plagued Confederate button makers.
The flaws did not affect the appearance or strength of the button and
if issued on a uniform would have been largely invisible. Thus it was
sold and issued. A very neat button to have in your collection because
of the two flaws along the rim. The button has not been repaired. Buy
confidently as your satisfaction is guaranteed with this purchase.

One-piece Coat size Button. (Closest to Tice's CSI 275/Albert's CS 184.
There was an infinite variety of Confederate local buttons. This one measures
almost 24mm, has a wedge shaped shank and is made of copper.
The redness of the copper is immediately evident when you look at the
protruding "I". This fine specimen has never been cleaned beyond a casual
brushing with a soft toothbrush. The front is covered by what appears to be
black paint, although the "I" - extending above the plane of the
front - shows red where the paint has worn off. Some light ground action is evident
on the front and on the rim when the button is viewed from that angle,
but this is a very handsome button. The back of the button is just as it
was when I purchased it from the digger. Make no mistake. This is the real
deal and a fine example of Confederate manufacturing. I'm not sure whether
the paint was a field addition or if it was done at the point of the manufacturing.
Found - North Anna Campaign - 2005.

Confederate Local with Eagle. CS 25B Tice CS 269a1 25mm. Dug in
Charles City County, Virginia in late January of '08, this tight
Confederate Local was made by C. Rouyer. It is embossed with an eagle
with wings in an upright posture surrounded by a ring of 13 five point
stars. The back has a depressed channel and an intact shank that is bent
to one side. The front has good detail abbreviated by a significant push
which is perhaps ¼ the depth of the dome that comprises the shape of
the button front. There is a trace of the original gilt remaining,
but not much. Some gilt remains on the back, as well. All in all,
this is a pretty good button with no holes and no repairs. This is
the only button of this type that I have held in my hands.
