Take a close look at denticles and the sides and ask yourself a few questions to determine whether its real or fabricated.
The answer is in the picture.

Holy Cow. The even sadder thing is that all these coins were bid up by under-bidders to those crazy prices. And none of them have any idea how close they came to losing their hard-earned dollars to a poor load of chicanery. I mean, I can see the seam running around the rim of the pennydime even on my archaic monitor... man...

so lets see... a machine shop job , a dip job, and a magicians piece...........now just where is my fabrications box.......I need cash. When it comes to coins especially so called errors, there just seems to be dumb, dumber, and dumbest. Tanks for sharing!

I guess the bidders did not consider the impossibility of a 10-sided 1949 die--or a 10c/1c?  Expensive lesson! It's pretty easy to tell it's PMD, given how the metal is raised on the "sides".  Edited by DVCollector

When I see "no returns accepted" on an unusual item I get more than a little gun shy.

What a bargain! A ten-sided octagon is extremely rare!

The stamps to send it will be worth more. Guess I better start brass coating penny's.

Until they try to pass it on.
Perhaps with help of an entity that think that they have a titanium off-metal toonie core.
