Alot of the new issues have the same coin, same mint mark, but one
unc and one proof. Do you guys think both are need for a
collection, or just one example?

Just wondering what the group thinks.

I don't collect commems, but the same question can go for, say, the US
State Quarters sets, too. I started getting the Mint Set and the Proof
Set. Why? I don't know. I've since quit buying the Mint Set and will
just get the Proof Set of each year from now on. (Mental note: Time to
get on ebaY and sell off those Mint Sets.)

All depends on which you like better - you certainly don't 'need' to
have both, but can, if you like the contrast. Like Dale said, "It is
your collection and I think you get to define it any way you want."
