I don't know how much they owed, but I just check the price of silver--$23.34 oz--so the 660 oz would be $1504.40.
I can't see anybody taking hard metal as a payment though.
You’re off by a decimal place.
$15,180, roughly, based only on spot. Some of those MIGHT be collector's items worth more, as I can see some of the rounds are in capsules/plastic sleeves. It depends on condition and sometimes it's worth it to have something that might be rare or unusual graded by a coin valuation company. Usually, it's not worth the fees.
Silver coins aren't worth much to collectors, specifically because they're so easy to get for collectors. The supply is huge, the demand tiny, and they basically never break because nobody is using them.
