Help-Verifying-Authenticity

Here is a coin I recently came upon for a GREAT price. I was hoping that someone could tell me wether or not this is authentic or a very well made fake. Thank you!

Difficult to say from just a photo. I can't tell if it's a radiate head or barehead. It should be radiate, I can't recall see one of these with a barehead.

It doesn't match any of the fakes at forum ancient coins.

As echizento says it should be radiate - however on these the radiate follows the outline of the head more than protruding a long way like many of the later examples. I think I can see it.

I also think this was issued under Tiberius around 25-35AD?

I think its good, at least I cant see anything that implies fake, everything looks 'right', as much as it can from a photo. A very nice looking coin, congrats on your bargain.
