It is unbelievable, but the U.S. Mint usually takes up to two years to release final, official audited sales figures on their products. Also, a certain percentage of coins & sets are returned by customers
with damaged coins or damaged special packaging & have to be destroyed according to Mint policies.
I bet you will really enjoy the ANA coin show & convention in August in beautiful Anaheim. The U.S. Mint will have a sales booth at the show & you can ask their supervisor your question in person.

Happy collecting Mike in Anaheim!

For example last year’s coin and chronicles show up on the sales to date just shy of the 17,000, 25,000 or 50,000 limit.
