As most of this is answered, I will add my thoughts on authenticity - 'looks real to me' (PS. if you got $52 for it that would be good, they are pretty common)

You're right; here's one of similar quality that sold for $45; a good lesson in shopping around.

bottom line --- roman coin --silver --its called a "denarius"--emperor Antoninus Pius--- 138 to 161 AD--- and good news !! we think it looks real -- worth about $50 bucks or so at minimum if it is.--- great job guys mackaydon and crusader
