Including sales from all ordering options, 69,662 of the $5 Gold Coins have been sold. This is nearly 70% of the total authorized mintage of 100,000 coins.

Including sales from all ordering options, 333,501 of the 50c Clad Half Dollar Coins have been sold. This is approximately 44% of the total authorized mintage of 750,000 coins.

Including sales from all ordering options, 336,258 of the $1 Silver Dollar Coins have been sold. This is over 67% of the total authorized mintage of 500,000 coins.

With four months left of sales, it does not appear likely that any of the coins options will sell out. However, sales across all options are some of the highest for any recent modern commemorative issues.
