Not by choice, but somehow, I have two copies of Minolta 28/2.0
One is EOS converted, and one is still Minolta SRT mount.
Debating on selling one, or not...

Meyer Trioplan - have found cheap optical copys Meyer Diaplan and Pentacon 100/2.8 projection lenses (need mount, no iris).
I have several copys from different lenses, like Helios 44 or cheap 35mm/2.8, and such - need them for experiments.
And I have 4 Zeiss Contax 50/1.4 (got them cheap) - but still need to learn wheter I love that lens.

No redundant copies here, if its worth getting a 2nd copy, it's worth buying again if its destroyed or lost, till then I'll buy something else that's interesting that I don't have.

I had a BUNCH of stuff stolen last year.
I have replaced most, and acquired some different, and still pondering a couple that I didn't replace.

Yashica ML 50/2. My soft spot
Good taste! I own the 50/2 and 50/1.4 ML. As for copies, mine are two CZ P50/1.4 C/Y and three Summicron-M 35. For the latter, I particularly love the market appreciation.

TE135 is my fav for portraits, and I use it on a Canon 1Ds without surgery to the mount. Being Visoflex capable, the head unscrews, then you mount it to universal focusser OTZFO with M/EOS adapter off eBay. Easy! Here's how the assembly looks:

Contax 50/1.4's tend to be popular here I too have 2 of them, last one with earlier s/n as urban legends say these should be better.
As well if we speak about tiny little differences in numbers... Could 50th and 60th Anniversary Contax 85/1.2 considered as the same lens
No more duplicates here...

I WOULD buy a second copy of my Rokkor 58mm f/1.2 - one for M43, and one for Canon - right now it bounces back and forth between two bodies... THAT is a great lens!

yeah, i had two copies of the rokkor 58/1.2 one for film and one for my sony alpha body. since i got rid of the sony alpha body i've gone to just one copy of the rokkor again.
i sorta have three copies of the rokkor MC 55/1.7, but two of them have the optics removed and replaced by zeiss optics.
i have two copies of the canon FL 55/1.2, but one of them was apparently stored under a lake and i haven't managed to disassemble all the rusted parts yet for cleaning.
