The 11/5 Mint production report indicates about 15,000 sets below authorization, yet it still shows up as currently unavailable. That's a bit of a mystery.

I doubt they'll be making anymore at this point. Quality issues or returns will likely just end up subtracting from the mintage total which could be what some if not all of those are

Yup, I bet the final figure will be right around 211k (where it is now)

The latest reported production is 6,725 less that the first reported production, so I guess this indicates the returns to date?
The final mintage could end up between 211-210k, but that would mean around 6.5% less than authorized. This is what I meant by a bit of a mystery, as this number seems to be too large to be "bad" sets that were returned (or the Mint really has a quality control issue).
Doesn't the Mint resell returned sets that are problem free?

There are 4 available right now. The code Anniversary still works for the free shipping.

I don't understand why all the returns since they first went on sale. I expected a sell out within a few days after they went on sale, and at $3 a coin, reasonably priced.
I purchased 4 sets & really like the Finnish. I do hope that they don't Tone like the 2009 Mint Sets I purchased, reason being I don't know what they would look like if toned, and can't imagine them looking better than they are now.

"Finnish"? I thought these were United States coinage?  I'm happy with the sets I received. I didn't expect them to take this long to sell out but I am not surprised that they did (or will) eventually sell out.
