Change the thread title to Jigsaw coin rip-off on eBay scam showing button not for sale and then you may have something.
You sorta have be among the people who collect very obscure colonial coin varieties with three quarters or more of the coin worn smooth to take a shine to this. I sat in at the 4C meeting at last EAC convention to marvel that people are jumping to pay so much for coins like that. I'm not one of them.
Sorry, but it's hard to get excited about this.
I have to imagine I'm not alone in this and others may feel likewise.
Keep it up! Your enthusiasm and knowledge is what drives this forum above most others.

Not really counterfeits--just pieces made when there was a need and known, popular designs were a logical choice.
To be honest, I don't see more than a passing similarity between the two designs. And the plow was a widely popular image on circulating pieces of the time.
I appreciate the speculation. But at best, the button seems like a crude attempt of recreating the Ryder design by someone other than the original designer.

Looks like a can opener.
Fascinating to research, and in my opinion alot cooler than Barber coinage and modern mint fads. But to each, his own
