Is there such a thing as an Elizabethan 1561 Sixpence without a mintmark?

A 1561 Elizabeth I Sixpence comes from the Third issue of her reign.
There appears to be four variants of the 1561 Sixpence, two with the "Pheon" "or broad arrow head" mintmark, one with a slightly different "broad arrow" mintmark and the fourth with a "chained portcullis" mintmark, similar to the "New Penny".
It seems that all 1561 Sixpences have a mintmark.

Generally, coins are valuable because of the price of the metals they are made from, but if you mean in a collectible way: One thing that makes a penny valuable is the date. They older the coin usually the more valuable. Another thing is the mintmark. For example 1943 pennies with a "S" mintmark are more valuable than pennies with no mintmark.
