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.
The first penny cent piece made by the US Mint was the 1793 Flowing Hair Large Cent - its value in good conditin is: $12,000.
Sorry, no US nickels dated 1814 the first one was 1866.
Coins that have letters and numbers added are common, but it does not add to the value of any coin and kills the collectible value of any coin. The value of your counter stamped Large cent is "Whatever you can get".
1 US cent has the same value the world over! i.e. 1 US cent
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.
