    Looks like someone is trying to strike it rich, but if you really want a 1953 penny I can give you one for half the price. ;)

    I don't need a 1953 penny. I just wanted to show this CRAZY price. Besides, I have a 1951 and 1917 penny :)

    Just another seller being delusional. Usually, they all have low feedback...and give no info on the coin with lousy images.....this one has them all.

    Yep, BR... some sellers would rather go fishing. You see these crazy auctions all the time on eBay; most of the time it's just a gimmick to draw attention to their store or other (realistically priced) items. However, this guy has never sold anything, and the coin is his only listing. I guess he's just having some fun, getting people on coin forums to talk about him.

    All the info says is "1953 one cent penny.":eek: It doesn't say anything about an error.

    If I got $890,000 or even $445,000 for just a normal 1953 Wheat Penny I’d offer free shipping too! :too-funny:
