If it is proof, it should be in a mint set that should say proof somewhere on the packaging and should have an "S" mintmark, I believe mintmarks for presidential dollars are on the edge lettering. As for uncirculated, it should show no wear whatsoever. So if you found it in change, it is circulated. But even genuine uncirculated presidential dollars are very common and have almost no collector demand.

How much is a uncirculated 2002 American siver eagle coin with proof worth today?

Well, an uncirculated one would sell for whatever 1 ounce of silver is selling for, today about $27. However you say with proof, I'm not sure what that means, if you mean it has some sort of certificate of authenticity or it is a proof coin. A proof coin will have mirror like fields (parts of the coin with no design) and an uncirculated coin will have shiny, but not mirror like fields. A proof coin is more expensive and would sell for around $70.

What does Uncirculated and Proof mean when referring to coins?

An "Uncirculated" coin is exactly that. It has never been in circulation and is in mint condition, and in the packaging it was sold in. A "Proof" coin is similar to an "Uncirculated" coin in that it has never been in circulation, but they are made on specially polished dies so that they have a very lustrous and shiny appearance. Proof coins might also be made from a metal other than what the normal coin might be made from, such as gold or silver. Proof coins usually cost a lot more to buy irrespective of what they are made from.
