That is a really cool button. So is it plated or is part of it solid gold?

Seems to me like the whole disc that you see in the first photo is 14 kt, while the button it was mounted in was junk metal. Great find again, Dave! HH

You could sell 1% of your collection and not even miss it. That would raise more than enough money to have a jeweler make a pendent.

If it doesn't hold at 18 and holds at 14 then you have your answer... I thought it was gold when I saw it the other day... cool find Dave
