1862 ONE PENNY
markymark123:
Is it true that the 1862 one penny is quite rare ? ......a friend told me it can be worth of some value?
Meatslicer:
A British 1862 bronze Penny (Victoria)(variant 1 - wreath of 15 leaves and 4 berries on obverse), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £2,950 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £500 to £2,250 GBP.
A British 1862 bronze Penny (Victoria)(variant 2 - wreath of 16 leaves, finer hair at nape of neck on obverse), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £275 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £2 to £65 GBP.
A British 1862 bronze Penny (Victoria)(8 over the 6), circulated but still in good condition, might fetch anything from £500 to £1,350 GBP.
A British 1862 bronze Penny (Victoria)(with Halfpenny numerals), circulated but still in good condition, might fetch anything from £750 to £2,250 GBP.
The values quoted are the best possible for the best specimens in their grades, but may be significantly lower due to varying demand for the coin and the prevailing economic climate. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.

seems as if your answer is yes marky :)
Meatslicer:
"The extremely rare 1862 penny of Queen Victoria with the halfpenny die numerals. The coin is poor and is shown with the standard numerals 1862 for comparison.
In his latest work (The British Bronze Penny), Michael Gouby states that there are only 15 known examples of this variety.
Freeman number 41 and rated Rarity 18 (6 to 15 estimated).
A very rare opportunity to obtain this type.
Our Price: £420.00"
And thats for a coin with barely any image of victoria or britania.
