What is the value of one of these? I just bought one off of my uncle for face ($25) and was wondering if there is any premium.

Unfortunately, the coins are so unpopular that rolls carry no premium at this time. They may at a future date, but given the FED's habits of locking coins away in vaults for all eternity, I would imagine it will be many years before your roll is worth $26.

With a little bit of luck, a good description, and some nice pictures, you may be able to make a buck or two after fees selling them on e-bay. Then again, maybe you won't and you'll be out the listing fee. I see one sold on E-bay recently and after shipping costs and ebay/paypal fees it looks like the seller cleared around $3.50.

I'd open it, keep the best one or two coins and spend the rest.

That is awesome. I have about 12 rolls of Presidential dollars and I keep looking at them thinking "one day, one day they will have some value." I guess I should just bust them open and use the money on something that will have a shot at being worth something above face one day. Maybe I too will get a nice error coin.
