I read an article the other day about fake coins coming out of China. Of course, a hotbed for manufacturing, the already manufactured fake coins from their own country and apparently now fake Trade Dollars and other coins are being generated in China, some good enough to be slabbed apparently. I'd think buttons would be especially difficult to counterfeit. Something such as a Cameo Pepsin pinback has such a distinct set of characteristics that it'd be very difficult to make one finding all the right components and aging it but I guess, as with everything else, it could be done someday.
