The first US cent issued by the United States Mint was the Large Cent in 1793.
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.
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.
