This is the same seller with the fake Postumus posted above. This denarius also looks cast. Doesn't look right, especially the hair.

I saw this one and immediately filed it as a fake in my brain...

There I not see something that is suspicious in this coin.
I think it's real. If, as I looked around, you'll see acsearch.info denars Vespasianus with a similar hair.
And over 20 different hair styles. Different masters, different hair and face. Which does not make it false.

The surfaces look wrong.  I think this is fake.

I agree with Joe, surfaces look odd. Plus, the coin is very "soft" looking.
