    Better yet, in Ancients. IMHO, it's either Roman or a fake Roman.

    It's a Roman coin of Antoninus Pius with Libertas holding a pileus on the reverse. Quick search indicates this is likely a sestertius, RIC 929 with obverse legend ANTONINVS AVG PIVS P P TR P XVIII and reverse legend LIBERTAS COS IIII, minted in 154-155. Edited, there are a couple other reference numbers this could be due to the lack of complete obverse/reverse legends, but 929 is the most common and most likely.

    Would love to know the weight to confirm it's a sestertius, should be in the 25 gram range. Edited to add, Nothing about the coin looks fake. In terms of value, I think the $50 range is reasonable. The legends are not complete and readable, but it's got decent detail and decent surfaces.
