I'm having a hard time determining if this coin is a real or a fake. Any comments much appreciated.

Julius-Caesar-Elephant-Denarius My apologies for the first post. I think I figured out how to post the pictures correctly.

Your Youtube link did not work for me. Reverse pic, weight and diameter? Sometimes it's obvious to spot a fake using pics, other times the fake is pretty good, closer in hand examination is needed. If you can crop pics to show mostly just the coin, this would help, too much background, better close ups are needed.

Compare it to fakes pics on Forum Fake data base and Forgery Network sites, you may or may not find a match.

This being perhaps the single most commonly faked Roman coin I would never purchase one from a source which I did not know personally and have anything less than 100% confidence in

The number of fake Caesar elephant denarius may well exceed the genuine !!!
Beware of bargains !
