Those pennies can really add up. Heritage Auction Galleries held an auction on Friday in Long Beach, California that included one man's collection of rare American cents which sold for a total of $10.7 million. The collection of 301 cents belonging to Burbank resident Walter J. Husak, the owner of an aerospace-part manufacturing company, included a variety of treasures such as a 1794 large cent that sold for $632,500.
