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.

Personally, I tend to purchase only the Proof examples. That's because
I view each coin as an artwork in the Modern Commem series and prefer
the way they look as proofs. I did buy the Botanic Gardens (on the
secondary market) as an UNC because I was impressed by the low mintage. ;-)
