Imperator to the community. You coin as a very nice patina, it has clear details and is fairly well centered. I would give it a grade of VF+.

Thanks echizento, does weakness in strike have an affect on the grade?

The coin has nice detail. The surface is a bit porous and there appears to have been some bronze disease that has been treated. Overall not a bad coin and one I wouldn't mind in my collection. I would give it a grade of Fine.

That is a very appealing As of Galba. The portrait is of a relatively uncommon style, and specially the SECVRITAS reverse is fairly scarce. Certainly much scarcer than the usually seen LIBERTAS and PAX types.
I usually prefer green patina, but the level of detail on this coin is quite
nice and I would grade it as almost very fine.
Very nice and scarce coin overall.
