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 silvered NC sunburst button was acquired directly from the digger and with will be an excellent addition to any excavated Civil War button or general relic collection.
