There is no such thing as an English 1900 New Penny coin. The coinage used in England is British. In 1900 the old Pound Sterling system was in use with 240 Pennies to One Pound. The word Penny appears on Penny coins. The words New Penny only appeared on coins after decimalisation in 1971, the word New was eventually dropped from 1982 onwards.

The rare dates are
1918H, 1919H, 1918KN, 1919KN, 1926 modified effigy, 1933 (only 7 known), 1952 (unique), 1954 (unique).
The 1933 is worth £80,000+ The 1952 and 1954 pennies are unique and worth £50,000+ each. So if you had the complete run in mint state (hypothetically of course), they would be worth somewhere around £190,000 - £200,000+
There are the rarer Freeman variants too which can add on a few thousand!
Remember there were NO pennies minted in 1923, 1924, 1925, 1941, 1942, 1943 (for 1941 - 1943 this was due to the war when all metal was needed), 1955, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959 and 1960, 1968, 1969 and 1970 (mass prodution - 654,000,000 - of 1967 pennies was due to them not been re-issued until 15 February 1971 as the small coin we know today).
