But what is gold and silver backed by? Really, to leverage its value when needed, what does it need to be converted to?

Really, in a financial apocalypse, you need to think more in terms of bartering. How likely is that silver and gold will be useful under those conditions. I think I'd concentrate on putting in a supply of bourbon. A couple of nice old kegs should provide for your old age. Even if the crisis never materializes, you can at least enjoy it yourself in your fallout shelter.
