Hi there.

It's a Denarius of Hadrian, Emperor from AD117-128 and it has a 'COS III' legend on the reverse (consul for the third time), which puts it after AD119.

It seems to be a 'Roma seated' type from between AD125-128. There's one here in similar condition that sold for $50, which I think was a fair price:
