I have aqcuired this coin in  a lot, and am new to collecting. A friend of mine with more experience had some flags on this coin, so im asking you guys if you could help to tell me if it is a fake or not.

Are you telling us it is fake or asking?  Either way, why do you think it is fake?  And why are you asking? Your post is not adequate. It does not follow the rules.

I think the same as for your Elagabalus: there seems to be no reason for doubting the authenticity of this coin. It looks genuine. Its denomination is "antoninianus" (double denarius), not "siliqua".

Looks good to me too.  In inquiring about authenticity, give us some idea of why you suspect it.  It is hard to do this from photos, so we really need to know what your specific concern are.
