Unfortunately I don't have access to my numismatic bookshelf right this minute Bishop, but I do remember (from the 1970 Coins and Medals Annual survey of known varieties) that this was known about back then. A scarcity rating would be provided too, but I'll have to convey that when I've retrieved the book in question.

As to value, I wouldn't get your hopes up. Despite some of the decimal varieties being extremely scarce, they've never really found an enthusiastic market out there. You could try it on eBay and see if you get any bites.

The "book" says 'Rare'. That's the same rating it gives the first reverse 1940 penny ("especially in mint state"), and the 1926ME penny gets 'Very Rare', so that's a guide. I still think the value wouldn't be particularly high as there probably isn't much of a market. But maybe the other guys here would differ on that?
