MS-67 is the "grade" of a coin. MS=Mint State and Mint state is the highest Grade given to any coin that has been in circulation. The 67 is the actual grade of the coin and the scale goes from MS-60 to MS-70. MS 70 is the absolute best grade for any coin in circulation so your MS-67 is pretty close to perfect circulated condition. There are other grades, but they are lower than MS.
No. Proof is a type of coin, not a grade. Most coins made are meant for circulation, but some are proof varieties, which are made with a slightly different process to make them much more shiny and are sold to collectors. The highest grade using the Sheldon Scale is MS-70. MS stands for mint state, and it's on a scale from 1 to 70.
"MS" stands for Mint State and 69 is a grade number on a scale of 1 to 70. Mint state coins are coins in the same condition that they were in just after leaving the mint, with no evidence of wear or handling. Mint state coins can still have normal damage from being put in hoppers and bagged, so the degree of damage is evaluated by the number associated with the letter grade. An MS-60 would be the lowest grade of mint state coin, with no wear or handling but numerous "dings", etc. from the minting process. An MS-69 coin would have essentially no evidence of such damage, and be in pristine condition. Assigning a grade that high is a job reserved for trained experts who could recognize and evaluate even the slightest flaws.
MS66 is a specific grade for a coin's condition on the Sheldon Scale, which grades coins on a scale of 1-70. MS stands for mint state, and a 66 out of 70 is nearly flawless.
A proof grade can not be given to a uncirculated (Mint state) coin. The term Proof is actually refers to a method of manufacturing, not a grade. But proof coins are identified by the by a prefix of PF before the grade and mint state are MS

MS-65 and MS-60 are grades of uncirculated coins. MS-60 is the lowest grade of the uncirculated coins while MS-70 is the highest grade. Grade is determined by the number of nicks or scratches on an uncirculated coin. The higher the MS number the fewer flaws (nicks etc.) there are on the coin.
The MS grades applies only to uncirculated coins. MS-60 is the base grade, a coin can have many scratches, dings, spots but has no wear. The highest grade is MS-70, this is a perfect coin.

"ms-65 is a grade in numismatics (coins) and is a desirable grade because it means that it is in a better condition than uncirculated (unspent)." Alex Masella
