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.

All U.S. circulating coins except the cent are mostly copper, due to its hardness and resistance to corrosion. Cents are made of copper-plated zinc because a copper (or bronze) cent would have more than 1¢ worth of metal in it.

In the United States, 5 cent pieces (or "nickels") are composed of an alloy of 75% copper and 25% nickel. In Canada, depending on their dates the coins can be made of 99.9% nickel, the same alloy as US nickels, or nickel-plated steel. The euro 5-cent piece is made of copper-plated steel. The Australian 5-cent coin is made of the same alloy as US nickels.
