Would someone double check this list I put together of British Pennys?

I wasn't able to find a list anywhere online and don't have any Darkside books to use as reference so I tried to piece together a list using Wikipedia.
Here's what I came up with:
(Year set, btw)
Starting with 1860:
1860-1922
1926-1932
1934-1940
1944-1953
1961-1967
1970
I purposely left off the 1933. Am I missing anything or including any dates that I shouldn't be?
Thanks for any and all help!

Edit, to be not so lazy - here's the purely GB part of the list, though there are a lot of commonwealth/colonial types that are to the same spec:
GREAT BRITAIN
1/2 penny, 1806
1 penny, 1860-74 **
1 penny, 1874-94 **
1 penny, 1895-1901 **
1 penny, 1902-10 **
1 penny, 1911-26 **
1 penny, 1928-36 **
1 penny, 1937-48 **
1 penny, 1949-51
1 penny, 1953
1 penny, 1961-67 **
My wantlist & references
KN- 1918 AND 1919
H- 1874, 1875, 1876, 1881, 1882 AND 1912
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

No pennies made in 1923-1925 nor 1941-1943. Only five or six minted in 1933 so I didn't include them on my list. Pennys were minted in 1952. A proof penny was issued in 1970.
<< <i>Just to be alittle more complete... lets list the mints
KN- 1918 AND 1919
H- 1874, 1875, 1876, 1881, 1882 AND 1912 >>
Heaton- 1874, 1875 (very rare), 1876, 1881, 1882, 1912, 1918, 1919
Kings- 1918, 1919
I believe all of the minting done at Soho was well before this time.
If you do include 1952, then you have to include 1933 and 1954...
<< <i>No pennies were minted in 1952. Several denominations were not minted that year due to GVIR's passing. There may have been trials struck, but no collector here is apt to see one unless it's in a museum.
If you do include 1952, then you have to include 1933 and 1954... >>
Noted, thanks for the help.
I think we then have:
Royal Mint
1860-1922
1926-1932
1934-1940
1944-1951
1961-1967
1970 (Proof only issue)
Heaton- 1874, 1875 (very rare), 1876, 1881, 1882, 1912, 1918, 1919
Kings- 1918, 1919
Now, does anyone know why the 1875H is "very rare"? I don't know what the mintage is. If it's anything like that 1933 then I'll remove it from the list.
I wouldn't remove 1875 H from your list - it's tough but obainable. It's estimated to be the same order of rarity as the famous 1869, which is also R11.
On the other hand, the following dates are really tough and probably unobtainable:
1882 with "no H" - R17 (16-50 examples expected).
1933 - R18
1937 Edward VIII - R18 (proofs only) (* George VI 1937 penny is common *)
1952 - R20 (not in Freeman, but noted in Coincraft as probably unique, hence the R20 designation)
1954 - R20
Royal Mint
1860-1881
1883-1922
1926-1932
1934-1940 (*1937 George VI)
1944-1951
1961-1967
1970 (Proof only issue)
Heaton- 1874, 1875 (very rare), 1876, 1881, 1882, 1912, 1918, 1919
Kings- 1918, 1919
Don't forget 1953 - it was not struck for commerce but was issued as part of the coronation "plastic sets," so it is a legitimate and easy-to-find date.
1860-1881
1883-1922
1926-1932
1934-1940 (*1937 George VI)
1944-1951
1953
1961-1967
1970 (Proof only issue)
Heaton- 1874, 1875 (very rare), 1876, 1881, 1882, 1912, 1918, 1919
Kings- 1918, 1919
Added the 1953. Thank you very much for the help, wybrit, I greatly appreciate it.
