Looks like an As of Antoninus Pius 138-161 AD.

Rev pics might help pin down the date better.

 

I agree totally. A decent image of the reverse may allow the date to be identified further.

Thanks for the reply, I'm going to make those pics - maybe you'll see em...

 

scan it both sides.

 

One question. The top pick looks like there is a seam around the coin. Is this a function of the photograph? I wouldn't assume a coin with an uneven flan like that was a cast, but every time I look at the photo I see the seam.

 

Here is another look at this coin...

There is a seem, I think it is struck, I paid $3 for this years ago and the coin dealer was glad to get it I am sure. I'm happy with it...
