From my gathering its because in a SHTF scenario the actual metal in hand is going to be worth more than a piece of paper. If everything crashes the dollar bill you would get from the paper is worthless as you will never be able to turn in the certificate for an actual piece of metal and the actual silver will be used for bartering. Atleast that is my gathering from it. But I am just starting so I have no clue!
