First-day sales of American Legion 100th Anniversary Commemorative Coins totaled to 39,671 pieces, according to United States Mint spokesman Michael White.
Released Thursday, product options include proof and uncirculated editions of $5 gold coins, silver dollars, and clad half-dollars as well as a three-coin set with each denomination in proof.
Nearly half of the allotted sets are gone but plenty of the individual coins remain. Altogether so far, the collection of coins has realized over $3.6 million.
All but the silver and half-dollars had initial household order limits. Those limits were removed today at noon EST.

this set is way over priced…price this out silver is only 16.00 an oz gold 1302.13 an oz
I know it’s early, but talk about sagging sales. Too much product!!!
Why anyone would buy the proof half for $27.95 is beyond me. WAY overpriced. You could 4 proof American Innovation dollars for that much. Crazy.
Clearly, the United States Mint is out of touch with the small collector with these ever escalating prices. Anybody still remember when a proof set was only two and change?
Totally messed up when you set a limit you stay at that limit slides the market down
A bunch of ANOTHER non starters from Congre$$ & the U$M……rehashed designs & PC’ness is going crazy, the $1 & 50c are not even ‘sexy’ the $5 is gold @ least but looks like a doppleganger for my US Marshall’s coins…. pass once again…
I wish the mint would stop lifting the Limit on limited mintages. This is one of the reasons I stopped buying. I want to buy a rare commemorative for my set. I don’t want to buy at a high price at the mint and after your raise the limit I can buy it cheaper on the secondary market. You are ruining coin collecting
