Would I be overly critical to point out sales are better than any of the American Legion commemoratives, except for the silver proof?
Sales numbers courtesy of the US Mint...
No, you would not be overly critical.
About 5000 a week. What’s so special?
That darn plastic magnifier must be magical and you can see the DDO/R pareidolia special strikes.
May 5 sales data (courtesy of the US Mint) is out:

Still doing +1000/week after 5 weeks is still pretty good for a mint product.
Should the uncirc sets fail to produce any PL coins, I wonder if these will have a second life in a month...
Mailing it back will cost shipping $. Is it worth it for a circ nickel? Thinking...
It could be mixed in the paper. Both of my first two were out. I have a box of 10 I didn’t open.
Also the mint will send you a free return label if you just call them.
Thoroughly went through it all. Had similar experience with the first order so was expecting some loose change. Didn’t expect the gapping hole in the seam in the shipping box, though.
Update. Send it back in.
Got the replacement.
No missing coins. But...
The shipping box had an interesting rattling sound. Much more than a single loose coin.
The Sac and Kennedy popped out of their capsules. Loose coins and the capsule cover.

Still doing +1000/week after 5 weeks is still pretty good for a mint product.
And it's still doing it 7 weeks after introduction.
Not bad. The uncirc set is out, we'll see if these coins get revisited...
Posted this in another thread but
more appropriate here until @BackroadJunkie adds the third children product thread (probably already posted but I cannot find it.)

The coins in the set DO look great....
Agree. I think @mas3387 got a 68PL cent from these sets.
I supposing that album (and registry) collectors are hitting this set versus it going to the little ones.
I did my part gave two to little ones.
Then ordered one for myself, returned because of missing nickel, and awaiting replacement.
Yeah, I've heard some of them are even "PL".
Sent in 3 Shield 1c, results:
1 - MS 67
1 - MS68
1 - MS68 PL
They also labeled 2 Roosevelt Dimes a PL as well
That’s awesome @mas3387!
