This is only the case for some 1950 British Coins.
Proof coins should be worth more simply due to the amount of work required to produce them. Proof coins are produced in a finite quantities for a given denomination and year.
An "Uncirculated" coin is one that goes through the usual minting process, but is removed before it starts banging and scraping against other coins and developing the marks and scratches associated with circulated coins. Uncirculated coins are an unknown quantity after they leave the Mint since they can be so easily circulated and subsequently lose the grading of "Uncirculated".
It is a matter of "supply and demand". Less "Uncirculated" coins for a given denomination (or year) are known to exist than Proof coins of the same denomination (or year), therefore the collector value of the "Uncirculated" coins is greater.
The same apparent disparity of value occurs for many coins and years.
