1) I saw the story last week and also thought it was cool.
2) As far as who the original owner was, I think it was either a store owner or some other business owner who, over a period of years, took their excess profits and went to the bank periodically and bought gold and hoarded it.
3) Selling the coins on Amazon, imho, is not the right way to do it. Heritage Auctions has major coin sales during the year and they get high prices. I am pretty sure if the couple had went to them and said they want zero commission on the sale of coins that might be valued at $10 million they would have gotten it.
