The example you have shown is not of the grade or condition that would fetch such a price.
When their is a huge price difference on a single grade point, as with MS 66 Red, versus MS 67 Red, some folks will buy original roll in the hopes of striking it rich.
It is the numismatic equivalent of lottery tickets.

People would be surprised to know what many modern coins actually sell for. Ike dollars now wholesale at $3 each and higher.
Indeed, some rolls are pretty cheap but they are unavailable so bid prices still don't go up.
The '91-D probably just wasn't saved in large quantities. Often with the zincolns the coins all tarnish but I don't know if that's the case with this coin.
Quote: As to the pennies: videos like this might have something to do with it.
That could do it. Tell a bunch of novices about how much a few grade rarities have brought and they run out an bid up BU rolls thinking that they will be sure to find several of those high value coins in the roll. Afterall they are BU, and never opened right?
