Answer:
The reason that Bassanio selects this casket over the gold one and the silver one is because he thinks that you cannot judge a book by its cover, essentially. He thinks that, these days, people are too concerned with appearances. They think that what looks good really is good. But Bassanio is not fooled. He thinks that it must be the lead one because no one would really expect that. He says that both the gold one and the silver one look too valuable. They are just tricks. Because he figures this out correctly, he gets to be the one to marry Portia.

But Bassanio is not fooled.Bassanio refuses gold because he knows that "all that glisters is not gold." He also refuses silver, calling it "common drudge 'tween man and man," as coins are. He chooses lead because he knows that true worth lies inside, even if the outside doesn't look like much. The lead is more like HIM than like Portia.
