The champion as of 04/2009 is a 1909-S VDB penny. Numismedia lists a fair market value of $78,000 for the finest known specimen, as of 04/2009.
"VDB" are the initials of the designer, Victor David Brenner. Only 484,000 of these coins were minted with his monogram before a somewhat inexplicable public outcry over his "egotism" forced the Mint to redesign the coin without the initials.
Other high-value wheat cents are all error coins. These include the famous 1943 cents minted on bronze blanks left over from 1942, their less-famous counterparts from 1944 minted on steel blanks, 1922 "plain" cents from Denver that are missing the D mint mark, and 1955 double-die cents.
