North Carolina "Sunburst" Coat Button
Item: North Carolina "Sunburst" Coat Button
Backmark: Blank
Design: A seven-pointed raised star or "sunburst" on stippled field with border. The raised letters "NC" in center on lined field within raised ring. Prime point is down or in the six o'clock position.
Construction: Low convex, one-piece.
Approximate size: 23 mm.
Condition: Very good, excavated, shank missing (see comments below). Purplish-brown patina with yellow soil highlighting rays. The button has no bends, cracks, or repairs.
Recovered: Unknown.
Reference: Tice: NC242B1; Albert: NC 16
Comments: The majority of this classification of North Carolina sunburst buttons are recovered without their shanks. This is primarily due to its non-footed shank having been spot brazed or soldered to the button's rear resulting in a fragile design. This very nice example is from the Glenn Trimmer collection and will be an excellent addition to any Civil War button or general relic collection.
