could be any number of reasons but thats not just a regular mint set it came from a special mint set ,the coins in the SMS were made better than regular mint set coins the dies were overpolished to give the coins a proof look but they are not actually proofs.the mint made these sets in 65,66,and 67.

The coins individualy would probably sell for more than the set complete. Just one possibility....

I also think that is what happened. Someone just used the other for an Album and didn't care about that one.
