The term "proof" has to do with how the coin was produced in the first place, rather than the condition of the coin.
A Proof coin is a particular issue of a coin not a grade of condition.
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
The term Proof actually refers to a method of manufacturing that produces coins with very sharp details and a mirrorlike surfaces and are called Proof coins. Uncirculated or Mint State coins are coins not released into circulation and have no wear on them.
Proof isn't a grade; it describes a process by which collectible coins are specially minted using high-pressure presses and highly polished dies, resulting in a very sharp image and mirrorlike surface.Please see the Related Link for a full explanation from the U.S. Mint.
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.

It's the highest possible grade for a Proof coin. The mnemonic "PF" identifies the general category of Proof-grade coins, and within that there are finer numeric gradations ranging from 60 to 70. Almost no coins grade to PF70 because it's the best of the best, with no blemishes or nicks, and a sharply-defined strike all over.

The designation "PF" for any coin means it's a Proof coin. Proof coins are given a grade from PF60 to PF70.
It depends on if the coins are proof, uncirculated or bullion. How many coins in the set? Mintmarks? Grade? Post new question with more information.
No US proof coins were made from 1943 to 1949. The set can only be a privately assembled set of coins that may be high grade uncirculated examples. Each coin would have to be graded and given a value.
July 9, 2009 The 1889 CC Morgan Dollar in circulated condition is valued from $475 in well worn condition to $9500 in almost uncirculated condition. Uncirculated coins have a value from about $30,000 in an MS62 grade to $450,000 in an MS67 grade. These higher grade coins are scarce. Additionally, exceptional coins such as those displaying a proof like appearance or a deep mirrior proof like appearance have values that range from about $30,000 for an MS62 to $90,000 in an MS64 grade.
