Thank you very much for your help in advance! -Adam
We need more info like weight and diameter. It looks like a sestertius with a bust of Marcus Aurilius, year 179 AD. In that condition, if real, worth a couple of hundered. details: Marcus Aurelius AE Sestertius. M AVREL ANTONI-NVS AVG TR P XXXIII, laureate head right / FELICITA-S AVG IMP X COS III P P S-C, Felicitas standing left with caduceus & sceptre. Cohen 186. RIC 1239. http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/marcus_aurelius/i.html Where did you find it?
k9brain is correct, it is a sestertius of Marcus Aurelius, RIC III 1239. But unfortunately it looks like a cast fake.
