I came across a one penny coin dated 1860 a while ago during work, and have only recently rediscovered it. It's not in the greatest condition, I'm just wondering if anyone has any details on it and whether it may actually be worth anything too. Thanks.

In that condition I would say the coin is worth about $2.

"Victoria Young Head or 'Bun' Penny" - not, as you say, in the best of shape but there were several different designs of this penny. Check these links for more details:-

The obverse is appalling.
I think $2 is generous.

It looks like it might have been cleaned and the pictures aren't great but it looks like it's actually in reasonable condition - maybe VF or better.
If you post some bigger, clearer pictures we could be sure. From memory there are 10 to fifteen different types of 1860 penny and some are quite valuable.
