Realtor discovers ONE MILLION copper pennies while cleaning out his late father-in-law's Los Angeles home

 About Post:

A California realtor has made an incredible discovery of one million pennies while cleaning out his late father-in-law's former home in Los Angeles. 

John Reyes and his wife Elizabeth found the pennies in a crawlspace in the basement of her late father Fritz's home in the Pico-Union neighborhood of the city last year.

The family had been cleaning out the home, which had decades-worth of belongings stored in it, for a year before they made the discovery, Reyes told DailyMail.com. 

After struggling to find a bank willing to exchange them for cash, he was urged by one manager to look into whether he had a stash of rare pennies worth more than their dollar value. 

Reyes has now listed the coins on OfferUp, a popular resale app and website, asking for $25,000 - more than double the $10,000 value in normal currency. 'Someone can buy them and they can go penny hunting,' he said.
