There are many pennies that average from a few hundred to a few thousand.

There is a unique error wheat penny, a 1943 coin minted at Denver, that recently (2011) sold for $1.75 million. This coin was struck on a bronze blank left over from 1942, while all 1943 cents were supposed to be made of steel to save copper for use in ammunition.

The other 2 mints (Philadelphia and San Francisco) also had similar errors but made a total of somewhere between 10 and 20 such coins, so they're not worth as much as the Denver error.
