It depends by what you mean "valuable" all pennies dated 1958 and prior are worth more than face value, at a few cents more than face in all except for the very lowest grade (for some ultra-rare cents, even a poor condition cent can be worth hundreds of dollars). In general, the older the coin, the more valuable. But for wheat cents, the rare dates are:

1909-S VDB

1909-S no VDB

1914-D

1922 without a mintmark

1931-S

1943 COPPER penny (any 1943 cent that is magnetic is NOT rare)

1944 STEEL penny (any 1944 cent that is not magnetic is NOT rare)

On both the 1943 and 1944 pennies, beware of fakes! There are many, many, copper plated steel cents or altered dates (genuine 1948 cents with the 8 altered to look like a 3, etc.)
