    For now, they've listed the coin collection on OfferUp for $25,000, which is more than twice their value, per KTLA. They're still waiting for someone to express interest in buying the entire collection.

    A penny dated 1909-1982 is worth 2.5758-cents in copper. They're expecting someone to take 686-pounds of pennies off their hands, ship them, and do okay on $758? What's FedEx ground.

    When I was little, my brother would bring home bank bags of coins — pennies, nickels, dimes — and we would go through them, one-by-one, on the kitchen table. You know where the good ones are, now? But this time, it's five seconds each, times a million... let's call it 1,400 hours.

    One might buy it on the chance that several of the coins were worth much more than the copper they were minted with. Then scrap the rest as copper.

    I have thirteen grandkids who have loads of free time. I'd give each one a 50 lb sack and the deal of splitting 50:50 with them the value of any coins worth more than 2.5 cents. I'd be surprised if it even took them two months. Not interested in coins myself, though, so never mind.
