Demand. A lot of people think that they are going to be scarce or just one a souvenir of what might be the last Jefferson nickel. These aren't widely available in circulation or at the fed because coins are distributed on a "first in- first out" basis and the economy is still a little sluggish and hasn't absorbed the mountains of coins which went into storage when the down turn started.
Those whoare patient will almost certainly be able to buy them on the secondary market for a slight premium over face.
