I'm trying to get all of this sorted out in my head. I mostly collect mint and proof sets, but want to include all mint marks of any coin sent to circulation. I would appreciate any corrections/advice from Ike collectors:

'71 and '71D missing from the mint sets, so I need to collect those separately. Same with '72 and '72D, but there are 3 varieties of '72 to consider.

'71S and '72S proofs missing from proof sets, but available as Brown Ikes (40% silver). Brown Ikes from '73+ are just 40% silver version of the clad proof coins in the proof sets.

'76 variety 1 in the '75 mint and proof sets
'76 variety 2 in the '76 mints and proof sets
'76 40% silver Ikes are just 40% silver versions of the clad coins in the mint and proof sets.

Brown Ikes are 40% silver PROOFS.
Blue Ikes are 40% silver UNCIRCULATED coins.

Do I have that right?

Looks like you got most of it.

I will add this regarding the 1976 40% silver Eisenhower dollars:

1. Unlike previous 40% silver Eisenhower dollars, they were not sold separately in brown boxes or blue packs.
2. They were all sold as a part of the three coin bicentennial sets (uncirculated and proof).
3. They are all Variety 1 (1975 reverse).
Rest in Peace

Looks like you got it all to me. I am no expert on Ike's but I don't see anything you got wrong.
