Why is a 1968 D penny so expensive?

I've noticed that the 1968 D penny seems to be quite valuable. I'm curious to know the reason behind its high price. Is it because of its rarity, minting errors, or some other special factors? Why is a 1968 D penny so expensive?

It occurred due to a mix-up in the minting process.

These planchets were originally used for dime production from 1964 to 1961.

The 1968 D cent struck on a silver dime planchet holds a unique place in numismatics.

This particular mint error is considered the rarest of the year.
