Good guys and good digs!
I concur that looks suspiciously like a seated Dollar. And those are great buttons!

Great finds. That counterfeit seated dollar is nice. Counterfeit coins were a big problem years ago. A friend collected counterfeit bust half dollars and actually had over 200 of them. Counterfeit British halfpence were another big area of counterfeiting. Cool finds.
