I'm not really confused, but this should be fun.
Check out these "Cheerios" pennies from the 1930's!

    Our hosts even labeled it as a Cheerios cent. What gives ?

    I see issues in the titles but not in the slab. I guess he just recycled/copied his Cheerios listing.

    What gives is the way you list coins on ebay. If you want to sell a coin it gives you the already sold template of similar coins to choose from. So if a Cheerios cent popped up, and the seller did not erase it from the template - its stays on the listing. Its the same reason you see astronomical amounts listed for a 1944 cent, etc. If a previous seller sold 1944 STEEL cent for a million, that template pops up. An unknown seller seems only a 1944 cent listed for a million and thinks thats what I got and all of a sudden you got a common worn copper cent with a riduculaous starting bid.

    Wow... Probably @WaterSport has the correct answer, because certainly there were only one run of Cheerio cents.

    The 2000's actually are Cheerios - Seems like a great price - I could be wrong.

    Only the 2000's are labeled Cheerios.
