Its an antoninianus of the emperor Probus. I'll get back to you on an exact ID.
Well, at least its a step up from the usual Fel Temp. Best things I ever got in an uncleaned lot were from my very first one, bought off ebay. I...
If you got ONE Antoninus Pius out of an uncleaned lot, that was worth it! Lol. Most of the stuff is small late roman and from eastern mints.
