Small Cent Accumulation - What's It Worth ?

So, let's say, hypothetically, there's an old geezer who years ago sold a bunch of his 1940's and 1950's cents on ebay and now is left with , oh......, I don't know, uh say.... approximately 24,723 .

At an average of 3 grams each, the pile would weigh about 75 kilos, (165 or so pounds), so this isn't something I could ship, so I thought about local ads (Montreal), but don't know how much to ask for them .
I was thinking of asking 3 cents each but the total of around $750 seems nuts to me. Or is it too low ? I kept 4500 average circulated 1962-3-4's separate and figured maybe to unload them at 2 cents each ($90). I had also figured 1.5 cents for the damaged ones ($27.02). That would leave 17,478 (approx. for about $524.34
524 + 90 + 27 = $641 Still sounds crazy, say an even $600, is that reasonable ?

( p.s. Sorry, I made the list below on "Notepad" and the columns don't line up right here. Tried to arrange them but it didn't work out)
