    It's a fake, and by US law, it must be marked "COPY" to be sold legally.

    It's exactly what is says it is, a copy of a mercury dime. Not a real coin.

    It is a poorly executed copy of a Mercury dime. Play money, really. Somebody dropped it into circulation and got away with it.

    It's a copy, not made at the US Mint.

    Reminds me of a Royal Oak Mint replica. It may be plated rather than solid silver. But, for 10 cents, who cares?
