[QUOTE="Nathan Waters, post: 3166085, member: 97558"]I am an ancient coin noob, and am carefully studying the information regarding fake coins.

[IMG]https://images.vcoins.com/product_image/48/S/6/sBP9Ac3QG7o6c7TfbRe5M8dY4zS2r4.jpg[/IMG] While studying this forum and others regarding fakes, the first things that stand out are the pitting on the raised portions of the elephant, but then noticing pitting throughout the coin too. When I look at other RRC 443 coins I do not see the pitting on the elephant, which is raising a red flag. The coin is available overseas with many many other coins for sale as well. The dealer is unknown to me, but with the high resolution detailed images i thought I could get a good POV on the coin before purchase. I apologize if I am posting in the wrong spot - I know how much that irks forum moderators and members. But you guys are all speaking about the exact coin I am trying to attain for my collection.
