US Coins are usually graded on the Sheldon scale. The Sheldon scale grades coins from 1-70. A coin graded 1 is very, very, poor and is basically only identifyable by the size of the coin. A coin graded 70 is perfect with no defects at all. Most coins grade somewhere in between the two extremes.

What does prf 65 mean in coin grading for coins?
The prf means the coin is a proof, proof coins are not intended for circulation and have mirror like fields (spaces where there is no design) and generally frosty designs. US coins are graded on a scale from 1-70 with 1 being barely readable and 70 being absolute perfection. Prf 65 is a fairly low grade for a US proof made recently. For older coins Prf 65-66 are typical due to damage from improper storage. But for newer proofs, prf 68 is low and 69 and 70s are common.

What are the grades of Morgan silver dollars?
All US coins are graded on the same numerical scale numbering from 1 (lowest grade) to number 70 (highest grade). In theory a coin graded 1 would be the worst possible example of that coin and a coin graded 70 would be a perfect coin. In reality coins are graded on a scale generally as such from lowest to highest. G-4, VG-8, F-12, VF-20, EF-40, AU-50, MS-60, MS-63, MS-65 There are many other grades between these numbers as there is no "forbidden" or "allowed" numerical grade as long as it is between 1 and 70. I suggest buying the Red Book of US Coins for a better explanation of grading.
