1847 is a relatively common date for US large cents. Two varieties were made that year, one with a normal date and one where the "7" was re-cut, so the date shows a smaller 7 underneath a larger digit.

Numismedia lists the following approximate retail values as of 03/2010:

Normal date:

Very worn condition - $20

Moderately worn - $26

Slightly worn - $38

Almost no wear - $150

Uncirculated - $216 to $1,720 depending on quality

Re-cut date:

Very worn condition - $25

Moderately worn - $52

Slightly worn - $89

Almost no wear - $414

Uncirculated - $630 to $910

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.

What is the value of a US large cent 1949?

The US did not mint any large cents in 1949, large cents were only minted until 1857. If you have a small wheat cent dated 1949, it is a common issue and goes for about $.10 in circulated grades regardless of the mintmark. If you have a large cent, the value depends greatly on the condition, with ones in the late 1840s to mid 1850s fetching around $15 in circulated grades. However, as with all coins cleaning reduces the value so if you do in fact have a large cent, depending on the grade/year really determines the value, an uncirculated cent would be worth over $100 to a serious collector.
