To expand a little on what was already mentioned, spot silver prices are based on the price per oz for five 1000 oz bars, not individual 1 oz bars. The 1 oz coins and bars generally sell for a bigger premium over spot. It's basically like wholesale versus retail pricing associated with buying much smaller quantities.

"Why Do I Have to Pay More than the Spot Price?
Simple Answer: Because "spot price" is the bulk rate for a large bar . Further, "spot price" does not include shipping, commission. or insurance to get actual precious metal into your hands. The large bars are, instead, held in a depository far away. Government and private mints buy large bars off the market and from refiners, then they produce "rounds" in the correct fineness before they are stamped out in a press under 100 to 150 tons pressure. Obviously, the smaller the coin, the more cost to mint it, per economies of scale. Analogy: A bushel of wheat costs much less than a loaf of bread; one is in the raw state, the other required careful work/cost to produce. Then, after the coins are minted, there are distribution costs that must be covered which also add to the "coin premium.""

That's raw silver spot price. These are US Eagles, there will always be a premium. Legal currency, IRA allowable, etc. Free shipping and no credit card fee, and Costco card cash back. $27.61 at GoldDealer.com right now (often cheapest of the bigger dogs) and then fees and shipping depending on amount and payment method.
You don't need end of world scenarios to use gold/silver.

My family were vietnamese war refugees and a well timed conversion of currency to gold/silver got a good 10+ members of my family onto boats and out of the war-torn country.

Its more likely that an individual country collapses rather than the entire society. And in that case precious metal has a value because people outside of the collapsed society still will pay for the metals in their own currency.

How is this a good price when 1 oz of silver is valued at about $23 as-today Feb 23. That makes this bulk worth about $460. This is an honest question.

Because only big buyers of 10000oz of silver are able to buy at spot price?

Kitco currently has silver eagles for $609 for (20) 1 oz coins. They changed their minimum purchase to $2,000. You'll pay shipping and processing on top of that

Pardon my ignorance, 🤯 but how is this used as an asset? I know people buy the Costco gold and now silver coins. But how liquid is this commodity and who would buy this if you decided to sell? Would you have to hold for a long time?

I'm not that informed, but from what I know, precious metals are an option for investment diversification. They should go up in value over time but they're also detached from fiat…if the apocalypse came and all businesses and banks etc became worthless, raw precious materials would still have value. In theory.

Basically. It's just portfolio diversification into non fiat. My non-professional opinion is 1oz gold, 100oz silver. 0.1BTC for every $100,000 in investment assets. That's about 8% or so.
