That's $13,333,333.33/oz, if you charge the whole cost to sample collection. They also get plenty of other science observations, but the main point was sample return. Apollo brought back 842lb of samples for something like $260 billion (inflation adjusted), that being $19,299,287.41/oz. Of course, science was basically a side-effect of Apollo, so you can't really charge it all to sample collection. But if you did, the moon rocks are pricier.
