My first in pre-decimal coins. I have no books for this field, so if anyone can help that would be awesome! I would like to know, mintage, condition, and what the I mintmark is, and any info. Thanks!

Hi Troy,
Mintage - ( 9,000000 )
Condition - about VF
The I is the mintmark for the Indian Calcutta Mint.

Relatively common coin, mintage 9 million. Quite scarce in top grades (at or above MS64) though. Dot before and after ONE PENNY, I under bust, indicates Bombay mint.
