Most of these coins come from the mint sets and this set had a very low mintage making it scarce enough to have a significant premium to the coins in the set. ie- if you cut this set to get a quarter there is a large decrease in the market value. This puts great pressure on the supplies of BU rolls which like most dates, were saved in very limited quantities. Couple this with the fact that almost all the coins in the rolls and most of the coins in the sets have such extensive marking that there is no chance of grading MS-65 and what's left is another scarce modern with a "huge" premium.
