    No, it is an ancient Roman Coin.

    I believe it is a silver antoninianus of Gordian III about 240 A.D.

    The portrait is correct, the written legends are hard to read.

    Gordian III AR Antoninianus. Obverse legend: IMP GORDIANVS PIVS FEL AVG. Reverse: AETERNITATI AVG.

    Is it worth grading?

    My SWAG estimate is that your coin should sell in the twenty to sixty dollar range. This estimate is mostly based on eBay review.

    Type in the term 'Gordian III antoninianus' into eBay's search engine. You will see quite a few similar coins. You may not find this exact type, but similar.

    Also look at the coin posted by IVB. The piece he posted is quite a bit nicer than yours.

    IMHO, if you spend the money on third party grading, I do not think you will get your grading fee money back at any future sale. Your coin is certainly a historic collectible, just not likely to be a big value item.
