Released March 26 for $13.95, sales for the set of uncirculated quarters reached 16,218 in seven days. That’s one of the best starts in recent years.

Last year’s set logged four-day opening sales 14,502 and the one from 2017 registered sales of 14,230 in seven days. Going further back, the 2016-dated set started with 14,250; the set from 2015 kicked off with 12,593; and the 2014-dated set opened with sales of 12,085.

The set for kids, the second of three youth-oriented products from the U.S. Mint this year, launched on March 28 for $19.95. It opened with four-day sales of 8,468 units.

This set is most comparable to the Mint’s Coin Discovery Set from 2014. It posted four-day sales of 3,025 units. Still available for $24.95, it’s now at 11,738.
