  There were some of these on BST recently. He had all the denominations, but all that is left is one half dollar popout, interestingly, also dated 1908. (No, wait- he sold the 1908- that's a 1907 he just moved from BST to eBay.)

  Likely not made from a real coin, like many are. Note the lack of reeding and the flat back. I have seen dimes that were cast.

  The one I had on BST is now linky on eBay, and it is real for sure, reeded edge and all. I guarantee it! The reverse looks like this:

  BTW, the other one the OP is referring to looks to be set into a Bezel of some kind. It could be real also, but I'm not sure. (No offense to ( "I;m Not Sure") LOL

  I agree- that other one in the OP did sort of look like it could have been set in a plain-edge bezel to me, but I couldn't be sure.
