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.

The only coins you need in your collection are the ones that you really
like, so it's up to you. Personally, I prefer to get the UNC versions
because they are generally sold in smaller numbers (rarer), they cost less,
and they are a little more forgiving than proofs if you store them in a
sub-optimal environment.
