Not sure what the letter is on button or what is below the letter in the circle. It is a one piece metal cast with a seam on the back and I believe the original eye that is broken off was part of the casting. I have found reference to buttons of this type being made in the 1750's to 1820's.

ANY IDEAS ON THIS BUTTON

Thanks Dale.
You are 100% correct. Did a search for War of 1812 Infantry Button and there it was.
Mine is a small cuff size button that measures about 14.5 mm. Quite a find for NW Missouri. It was found at an 1861 Missouri State Guard vs Union Skirmish site. Those Pro-Southern MSG boys showed up in all kinds of past uniforms. I found an 1830's to 1850's Navy cuff button at this site. We have also found Union General service, Infantry & Artillery buttons. It's been a good site. I will attach a picture of the Navy button
