[QUOTE="RichardT, post: 25700539, member: 100005"]I don't think you can get professional help on a coin forum. Not really possible to authenticate a coin based on photos, although it is possible to condemn it as a fake. My two cents on this coin. Style and weight are both correct. The elephant looks more like a pig but it's a known variant. Having said that, this is a VERY popular type and there's lots of potential profit for counterfeiters. I would never buy such a coin from unknown sellers. Can't help you more, sorry.[/QUOTE]
