First get some good close in focus pictures of the coin and post them here.  There are many experienced people here that can take a look and give you an opinion as to whether it is an easily recognized fake or if closer examination by a specialist should be done.  The 1943 copper cent is a VERY commonly faked piece.  If the opinion of the people here is that it has a chance at being real, then you will need it authenticated.  Our host, NGC would be a good choice for this, and yes they can be trusted.  A coin of that value if it is real is going to need authentication in order to bring close to its real value.  99% of the people won't risk that kind of money without some kind of assurance.  If you decide to send it to them, then we can discuss the safest way to accomplish that.  But right now we need images.
