This is a scarce original non-excavated coat size Civil War era Michigan state seal button. The face of the button has an excellent amount of the original gold gilt remaining to make the detail show up well on the face. The Michigan state seal shows the shield supported by an elk and a moose. In the shield it shows a man standing on a peninsula under an eagle. The original back is present and the shank is solid as a rock. On the reverse of the button it has the correct Civil War maker's mark of "SCOVILL MG CO. WATERBURY" with the small letter. This is the version listed as figure MG4 in Albert's button book and MG205a2 in Tice's button book. This is an excellent non-excavated button that displays very well as you can see in the pictures.
