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.
