Without the bullet hole it is still a fairly common coin with values for average circulated coins running under $40. Any signifigant post mint damage usually ruins any value of any coin, with the very rare exeptions of the ultra rare coins with only a few survivors in existence.

You don't have a large cent because the last large cent was made in 1857. Any US cent dated 1863 should be an Indian Head cent. What you might have is a privately made token or something of that sort because it is not a US mint product if it is a large cent or not an Indian Head Cent.
In the US there are pennies and there were 2 cent coins but they're not the same. Pennies are one cent coins. Two cent coins were made from 1864 to 1873, so please check your coin again and post a new question.
