A proof coin, regardless of denomination, is a coin made for collectors. Proofs are struck from specially-polished blanks using extra-sharp dies, higher pressure, and a lower striking speed to produce a highly-detailed image with a mirror finish.
Proofs are normally sold in special packaging to protect them from fingerprints and other contaminants.

What is the value of a 1968 proof set with a no-mintmark dime?
As of 07/2009 retail values are over $15,000 for a 1968 proof set where the dime does not carry a mint mark. That was the first year that proof coins were struck at the San Francisco mint, and one of the die-makers forgot to put the "S" mint mark on a die. Some "S-less" dimes were shipped in proof sets before the error was discovered. Be careful, though. Normal 1968 Philadelphia dimes don't have a mint mark because the P wasn't used on dimes until 1980. A Philadelphia dime can be processed to resemble a proof coin.
