I'm sorry to say but I think it's a replica of a LUCIUS VERUS SESTERTIUS

It's takes a lot of experience to judge a coins authenticity, so it isn't something that is easily explained.

In this case: the lettering is too perfect, the edge is without blemish, the near perfect roundness is suspect, and the design elements are not consistent with the engraving of that period.
