That's a really nice looking button, congrats!
I had ancestors who fought from Coosa County Alabama, wonder if they wore buttons similar...
Nice find!! There are 2 different makers of the Alabama button and 3 different backmarks. Depending on the backmark you can put a close time period on it. What is the backmark? Can you post a picture of the back? It can also be a New York Albany Citizens Corps button with the same backmark as one of the Alabama backmarks. There is one that has an identical face to the Alabama button. So if it's one of the other Alabama backmarks we'll know it's Alabama. HH 401KI had a little free time this afternoon so I went to our farm for 2 hours and hit a hot spot. I found this button and I assume it civil war because it was near some trenches. I would appreciate it if someone can give me some info on it. Thanks
It could also be a New York Albany Burgesses Corps button: edit WRONG # NY 69b Citizen Corps buttonAlabama Cadet Corps .

Tice says NY is identical face as Alabama page 250 ( ABS282 ) Albany Citizens Corps Button.21mm and 23mm the NY 23mm is as Tice puts it "extremely rare". Tice ( NY 244 ).Scott the button has A C C the Albany Burgesses Corps looks like this

dAN ( NY 67b ) Exact as OP page 208 Alberts Tice says NY is identical face as Alabama.
Chead it can be a NY button " Tice says NY is identical face as Alabama page 250 " At least the OP knows that there are more facts about his button for a proper ID not just your usually wrong ID. I'M surprised you didn't call it Jacksonian seeing that you don't even know what a Jacksonian button ishey look again sunshine , your looking at the ny69b and thats the Albany Citizen corps not the albany Burgesses corps . you can't even get it right
Chead it can be a NY button
If it is a NY 23mm it's extremely rare. Make sure you have the proper ID not just Alabama. HH 401KI wonder if that means it's rare.
