A particularly healthy set of lungs contains 4litres (5 grams) of air, assuming a conservation of mass, that's less than one ml of silver, being a noble metal, the silver harmlessly disapates into the theifs bloodstream over the next couple years, at worst turning them blue. The awakened mushroom sorcerer hidden in the theifs pocket casts an actually good spell, such as fireball.

I'm thinking that an equal mass of silver would take up less space in the lungs, creating a vacuum with a 4 liter volume, and the sudden inrush of air to fill the remaining space would destroy all their soft tissue.

I am picturing a non-instanteous transmutation, as seen in Harry Potter etc... (DnD would also count spells like "true polymorph" having a casting time of 1 action (~6second).) Not a barotrauma specialist, so can't comment on instantaneous case.
