I have a couple hundred remarked 68000s that I bought as 68010s before I got good at spotting fakes and knowing who to deal with. I just keep them in a box to take them out of circulation, it's not even worth the hassle of returning them...

The ones I have do have the VBR, so they are legit 010.

Of course, buying from China is what it is.

They are however 8/10MHz. Likely pulled from boards. 14MHz DIP are supposed to exist, but unobtanium.
