You would need to get this authenticated from a TPG first.

Trying to be positive; however, the coin appears to not be legit. Not all counterfeit '43 copper coins come from China. Others will weigh-in. If you remain certain that it is for real, do consider sending it in to PCGS or NGC for authentication. And, please share with us what comes back.
Oh, please post a photo of the reverse.

I was cleaning an old house out a couple years ago and had it stored with old coins because it was wheat. Didn't get into coin collection until about a month ago because a guy told me I had a 2000 Sacagawea cheerio worth allot of money on my hand. So I got the itch from there and the YouTube videos I saw. Well it's fun and it's like treasurer hunting for me. Even if it's fake, oh well. I really don't think it is. Over did all the research and wish had fakes you can order and it won't stick to a magnet. If it's a Chinese fake weighs 3.1 on my coins scale and looks this good. Order me some. I think that's just people not believing and I'll guess who could blame them with all the scams going on. It's pretty awesome to me, though.

Sorry but you haven't posted an image anywhere good enough to tell. You need to crop them and make sure they are in focus, don't blow them up after you take them.

I can promise you it's fake. I've seen the real thing, this isn't it.

Please, we would still love to see your coin, but not like the blurry ones you have given us. Lay your coin down on a hard surface and photograph it directly from above, both sides, well cropped, crisp, razor sharp photos. Even without fancy photo equipment, you should be able to get sharp photos. Experiment with it, you'll get better the more you do it. If you truly believe you have "the real thing" you really should send it into PCGS for authentication and your own piece of mind. Please report back to us, if you'd be so kind, along with a photo of the label.  to the CCF!

Obvious fake. Op convinced it is real and doesn't want to hear the truth.
