Cistophorus-131-132-BC

Hello all,
I have this Cistophorus in great condition. I obtained this from the estate of a deceased family member. I have collected coins for 20 years but I am not sure if this should go to auction or a specialty collector? Any input on value or market will be helpful. There is some limited info that says " Cistophorus 131-132 Attalid Emperor H Adrian Silver. Thank you in advance for any direction.

It looks like there may be the remains of a casting sprue at the 4 o'clock position.
To be sure, need to have a look at the edge at this location.

Ok thx. Just to confirm though, do you mean 0.4 g? That seems quite light.
