Message:: [QUOTE="andyscouse, post: 999534, member: 27100"]Cti, None of the dates you list would contain a mintmark.  The only mintmarked UK pennies are as follows: H ... 1874, 1875, 1876, 1881, 1882, 1912, 1918, 1919KN ... 1918, 1919 For C19th ... the "H" is located below the date in exergue, bwtween the 2nd and 3rd digits - see (*) below.For C20th ... the "H" or "KN" is located to the left of the date, again in exergue - all these command a premium over non-mintmarked coins. (*) Pennies were produced both with and without the "H" mintmark in 1874, 1875 & 1881.1876 pennies were only produced with the "H" mintmark.For 1882, the ones without mintmark are of the utmost rarity - the vast majority have the "H".  Beware of well-worn coins where the "H" may have worn away.[/QUOTE]
