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.

It doesn't exist. Indian Head pennies were first minted in 1859. In fact, the cents produced in 1832 are known as "large cents" and aren't even the same size as a modern day (or Indian Head) penny but rather about the size of a half-dollar. 1832 large cents feature the Matron, or Coronet head design featuring a personification of Liberty on the obverse and a wreath saying "One Cent" on the reverse.

Assuming the coin is circulated, the 1837 Matron (Young) Head Large cent is a common date for this type of coin. For an accurate assessment of value the coin needs to be seen and graded. Most coins show a lot of wear. In general, retail values for low grade coins are $21.00-$31.00, better grade are $63.00-$100.00 and coins showing almost no wear run from $192.00-$240.00. Values are a market average and only for coins in collectible condition, coins that are bent, corroded, scratched, used as jewelery or have been cleaned have far less value if any to a collector or dealer
