I have collected U.S coins for many years, and then Civil War Tokens, but am now actively building a collection of 18th Century Conder Tokens, the coins that made the Industrial Revolution a whopping success. : )

Put me down for one!!!
It is much thicker and heavier than any large cent, though of a similar diameter.
PCGS had some difficulty getting it to fit into its slab. Its PR-66 BN grade makes it the Finest Know example, Pop. 1, authenticated and verified by CAC.
It is bronze, not copper.

While I am sure of its exact composition, yet, I am guessing that it is neither of the alloys you mention.
It does not look anything like any Flying Eagle C/N cent I have ever seen.
Based on coloration and detail in the leaves of the wreath on its reverse, I think it was struck on a special bronze planchet,
perhaps of a different material than any other coin or pattern.
The pattern was experimental in nature. None were ever released for circulation, instead handed out to favorites of the Mint Director,
or possibly executed for politicians, perhaps U.S. Senators.
It is my only U.S. pattern. I have a few Conder Token patterns, but hardly consider my self an expert about patterns at his time. : )
Besides being a collector of U.S. large cents and very fond of the Braided Hair design, I have a nice collection of high grade Civil War Tokens.
The 1863 date is not found on any large cents tied this pattern to my Civil War Tokens, for me.
I also liked the idea of owning a bronze three cent piece. I thought, 'Who has one of those?' LOL
