Sorry I don't recognize your coin. But if I have to guess, I would say Roman Provincial. Someone will come along who may be able to help; however, I think today has been a very slow day on this discussion board, so it may take some time. Good luck. I'll be watching to see if it can be identified.

jessvc1, thanks for all the help!

Thanks for the welcomes! I plan to stick around and begin developing an ancients collection. It's amazing to think how old these pieces are. Thanks again!

IMHO this coin could also be a Gordian III radiate bust, Nicaea.
See Nicaea in the attachment here:
