Commemorative Dollar

Why is the 2001 Silver Buffalo worth more then other US Commemorative Coins?

I recently purchased a 2010 1 o.z. Gold Buffalo coin. After this, I wanted a matching silver buffalo and purchased on eBay a 2001 Silver Buffalo Commemorative Dollar. I have a 2011 Coin Red Book, and the mintage figures are about the same IF NOT more then some other dates but the specific 2001 Silver Buffalo is worth over $150+ compared to say a 2000 Leif Ericson has 28,150 mints and the 2001 Buffalo has 227,131. Why is this? Again, mintage seems to be on par with other years so I don't think it's that. Thanks!!!

BD in NM has it right, even though the 2001 Buffalo Dollar has higher mintage's for it's proof and uncirculated types than a lot of other Commemoratives, more people want them and are willing to pay what dealers ask up to a point. The prices have come down some, due to the economy and as time goes by some potential buyers lost interest. The buffalo nickel that was used as a model for it has a huge following and it is one of the true American Coins. Real Indians were used as models and a real bison. A mint state buffalo nickel is a small piece of art.
