This is a very nice looking original excavated Confederate made Civil War coat button for the state of North Carolina. It has the famous North Carolina state seal on the face of the button with the bold "NORTH CAROLINA" across the top edge. The face of this has a nice brown patina with the figures being clearly visible on the face. If you notice there is even a small amount of the original silver wash still intact on the button's face in the protected areas. These were well made buttons made in the Confederacy for use by the North Carolina troops. The reverse of the button has the original back and shank intact. This is one of the neatest variations that they made. The shank of this button was made by cutting out a piece of sheet brass and drilling a hole through the center. It doesn't get any more Confederate necessity manufactured than that. This is the pattern listed as figure NC8D in Albert's button book and NC210D2 in Tice's button book. This button shows fine Confederate workmanship and will be a solid addition to any Confederate button collection.
