1843 (with or without a colon after letters REG on the back)

1849

1856 (two types - OT = Ornamental Trident and PT = Plain Trident) both are rare

1860 over a 59 Big copper penny - very rare - just 400 struck....£2000+

1864

1869

1870

1871

1875 H (small H under the date referring to the Heaton Mint of Birmingham)

1895 2mm (the trident is held 2mm from the P of Penny

1918 H (small H to the left of the date referring to the Heaton Mint of Birmingham)

1918 KN (Small KN to the left of the date referring to the King's Norton Metal Company of Birmingham)

1919 H (small H to the left of the date referring to the Heaton Mint of Birmingham)

1919 KN (Small KN to the left of the date referring to the King's Norton Metal Company of Birmingham)

1954

Answer 2

All years of issue of the British decimal 1 New Penny and 1 Penny coins are still potentially in circulation so, unless they are part of a Proof or Uncirculated mint set or are individual Proof or Uncirculated coins and in absolute mint condition, they are worth 1 Penny.

A British 1971 to 1981 bronze 1 New Penny coin (Elizabeth II), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £0.20 GBP.

A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation.

Answer 3

There are no British "New Pennies" that could be considered rare.
