It is most definitely counterfeit. See picture below. Yours matches the fake exactly. These are made in China and sold for about $2 with free shipping from China.

Look at the hair on the two men....

Absolutely 100% non-genuine. These appear with some regularity on ebay.

Hopefully you'll find a real deal soon if you keep looking. Asking here is always a great idea if you are unsure.

That piece is definitely one of the most easily recognizable fakes within the US commemorative series.

It was smart of you to question it and to ask for opinions from those who have knowledge of the series.

I hope you find a genuine piece soon for your collection!
