    Pretty hard to tell when there's no list or photos!

    The 1938 UK penny is one of 121,560,000 minted that year and the 1947 example is one of 52,220,440. Given that they are well worn and scratched they have no value whatsoever.

    The Irish pennies would need to be very rare to be worth anything given their condition, you only posted photos of the obverse so we can't see the years. Check this website for the value of pre-decimal Irish coins based on condition and year...

    The late 1800s would cover the later part of the reign of Queen Victoria, from then until 1928 there was no separate Irish coinage.
