I saw this for sale online $10. Is it real? If so, is it worth it to buy? I have no experience with this kind of stuff

If you mean is it an authentic jug produced in 1760? the answer is "no"... but you will find them misrepresented on fleabay at ridiculous prices, suggesting that they are authentic. Like this one, for example:

That particular style is common for mid-to-late 20th-century vintage pewter jugs made in Italy. They usually carry stamps on the base such as "NVS 1760" or "SAN 1760" along with a "95%" [pewter grade) and/or a "Made in Italy" mark.

The inscription "NVS 1760" is a maker's stamp found on vintage pewter hollowware, most notably decorative pitchers, jugs, and bowls.
While the "1760" stamp frequently leads people to believe the piece is a genuine 18th-century antique, these items are actually 20th-century vintage reproductions. They were widely produced in Europe—often in Italy or France—during the mid-to-late 1900s as decorative colonial or historical revival pieces.
