Looks like a limes denarius, rather than a proper silver one to me.

No nothing, even if it was a limes Denarius it is contemporary with the normal official coinage and has a place in any collection.
One theory on Limes Denari is that they were military coins issued by travelling mints, attached to the Legions.
