Have you checked or talked with your homeowners and insurance rider agent to see if any benefits or debt collection assistance is available?...
My advice for a beginner is to start with higher grade (AU or Better) Lincoln Memorial Cents. You can purchase these in bulk at a small premium...

While the following certainly does not authenticate the OP's coin as real - it also doesn't provide any indication the OP's coin is counterfeit....
