Jeff,
Lyman did make a limited run of the collar button .45-70 molds in '99, and they quickly sold out of them. I've tried the bullets, and they shoot OK, but nothing to write home about, as I've found a simple round ball to shoot as well or better at the modest velocities that typifies usefullness of this kind of load.
Also, for quite some time now NEI Handtools has been cutting the same bullet design in their blocks.
Here's an image of their rendition of the collar button:

Hope this helps!
