A proof coin is made from a highly polished planchet (blank) and struck twice to produce a highly detailed relief. Proof coins are not put into general circulation.
Matte proof coins are special proofs that have a grainy "sandblasted" look on the surface. Matte proof coins were sometimes made in the early part of the 1900's. Normal proof coins have a mirror like brilliant surface.
PR is a grading system used for proof coins
DCAM stands for Deep Cameo and is reserved for proof coins
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-like coins have features similar to a proof coin, but may not fit the definition of a proof (for example, they may not be double struck). Proof-like coins have mirrored fields (you should be able to see your reflection in the spots of the coin where there is no design) and are generally of higher quality than coins produced for circulation.
Proof coins are special coins produced by mints with special dies and polishing to be perfect and to have an extra eye appeal. Thus proof coins are near perfect representations of that particular coin.

If you mean the 1856 Flying Eagle small cent coins? Proof coins were also struck. It's believed that a total of no more than 3,000 coins (including proof's) were produced. Most of the coins were business strikes.

MS stands for Mint State, which indicates a coin that has never been circulated and is in uncirculated condition. PL stands for Proof-like, referring to coins with reflective surfaces similar to proof coins. DMPL stands for Deep Mirror Proof-like, representing coins with highly reflective surfaces that closely resemble proof coins.
DCAM stands for Deep Cameo and is reserved for proof coins

A "Proof" or "Proof - Fleur Du Coin" coin is one that is struck on specially prepared and highly polished dies. After the coin is struck, it is hand polished to give a mirror like finish. Most modern "Proof" coins have the highlights frosted to give a good contrast. "Proof" coins are made from the same metal as general circulation coins, but are often also made from silver or gold. "Proof" coins are worth a good deal more than their face value and are intended as a souvenir or investment.
Please post new question. Do you mean Three (3) $5.00 coins?
Coins in proof sets are generally worth a bit more than coins used in general circulation.
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.
PR is used in terms of grading coins to designate that the coin is proof. For example, a perfect proof coin would be graded as PR-70. A nearly perfect proof coin might be graded PR-68 or PR-69, etc.
