Best Answer

A proof coin of any type and date is one that's specially struck for sale to collectors. The blanks used for proof coins are highly polished and they're struck at slower speeds by high-pressure presses to produce a sharp, better-detailed image.

As of 04/2012, an 1896 proof Liberty nickel retails for anywhere from $150 to over $2500 depending on the quality of the strike.
