DISCLAIMER: The retail values quoted are the best available as of the date shown, but may vary significantly due to changes in the precious metals market. Also the wholesale (buying) price of a coin will be less than the selling (retail) price. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.

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.
In order to give an accurate estimate, the coin should be seen. I suggest you take it to a coin dealer and have it appraised.
1 US cent has the same value the world over! i.e. 1 US cent
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".
Check that date or denomination again. The last year for large cents was 1857.
The US has never denominated coins in pence, only cents. And in any case "pence" is plural so no coin would show the denomination "one pence". If by any chance you have a large copper coin about the size of a half dollar with the words ONE CENT on the back, you have what's called a Large Cent.
