I'm on the fence about this one. I have compared it extensively to PCGS examples on Photograde. One thing that appears to be legit in my opinion is the positioning of the date in relation to LIBERTY. Most all counterfeits I have seen are easily discernible when comparing how the date and LIBERTY align with one another. Fakes usually have a certain and noticeable 'slant' of the date and in relation to LIBERTY. Real examples exhibit almost perfectly "parallel" devices, in respect to these two devices, on the obverse. The OP's coin looks pretty darn close when viewed from the side, on a longitudinal plane, in which to see this orientation I'm talking about. However, the reverse may be suspect but then again it has heavy ED. I'm not seeing any resemblance of the last S in STATES in the OP's pic. Is there an S there that you can see with coin in hand? Also a bit hard to tell about the motto EPU. Once again, a heavily oxidized coin but all of the devices and element placements appear to be normal (other than the S possibly missing.... which if so is 100% fake). Just my take on this one.

What would the recourse be to verify if the cent were real beside TPG?

If you wanted it verified, you would have to sent it to a TPG.
It would be a hard sell without it being certified as being genuine.
