The level represents 67.8% of the initial 50,000 production and 33.9% of the possible 100,000 units that could be sold — the maximum is the amount listed on the set’s product page located on the United States Mint website.

As with most newly released products, demand was strongest for the Making American History Coin and Currency Set during its first few days of availability.
