<p>[QUOTE="Phil Ham, post: 3572084, member: 5787"]The War in the Pacific puck went on sale in June 2019. The mint sold 12,010 in the first of week of sales. Puck sales continue to be very weak this year with the Guam offering having the slowest first week of sales on record. The other two pucks released in 2019 continue to have extremely low demand (13,249 for American Memorial and 14,191 for Lowell).
