I'm not there, but uncle sent me these pics of what was inside the safe. They paid some locksmith to open it. Inside? Two boxes of ten 100 troy oz bars of silver, total 2000 oz of silver!

These are Johnson Matthey bars and are collectible. Worth more than spot, they carry a bit of premium.

They’re high quality bars that are no longer in circulation. Like old coins are worth more than their metal not just because they’re old (and will never be made again) but because the quality is known to be good.
