Hello and thank you for any help
I have this one coin, the only one I have ever had older than 1800 and a few queations?
1. Is it real? Is it a cast or a strike?
2. Who is on the coin and what emperor was ruling at the time?
3. Is it gradable?
4. How can I submit to NGC assuming it is real?
5. Approx value if it is real?
Thank you everyone for the help!

Difficult to really evaluate the authenticity from a photo, esp one this small, but there's nothing obvious that its a fake (or validates that its real either). Genuine denarii were struck altho many think the blanks were usually cast to maintain size and weight tolerances. Common coin but it looks nice so my first guess, assuming its real, would be $100-125 or so. There are several of these on ebay at or above this price level but only 1 has sold recently at $138 and unsold piece from France (that has been relisted several times) that's being offered with a start bid of $93.
Can't speak to 3 & 4 since its fair to say that most collectors of anicents prefer their coins raw.
<< <i>... Terence which is the name of this coin I understand?) >>
That would be taken from the moneyer's name C. Terentius Lucanus, if indeed that is the common name for this coin.
According to STLNATS the numismatic name for her is "denarius" and I agree, though I'm not an Ancient collector.
You are free to call it Terence by me
