Default 1834 halhdime , button and a large cent!
Found these in the same field as the no date halfdime and the two 1852 3 cent pieces. I could use a little help on the age of the button. Thanks!

Default canfield bros buttons
1840 to 1860 made buttons for both sides in the civil war. Yours looks like a fire department button from that era. Great finds...Gil

Sheesh. I'd love to find a half dime or a 3 cent piece. Good job.
