Proof refers to its finish not it's grade. A proof can be scratched if not properly taken care of but it will always be a proof. Proof blanks are specially treated, hand polished, and cleaned to ensure high quality strikes. The blanks are then fed into the presses fitted with specially polished dies and struck at least twice. The coins are the specially packaged to showcase and preserve their exceptional finish.

What is the highest grade form of alcohol that can be purchased?
Spectroscopic grade is usually the highest purity. I don't think "grade" is the word you really wanted to use, though. If you're asking what the highest proof value of any consumer-grade alcohol, it varies by state. The azeotrope at about 190 proof is the highest I've ever seen for alcohol intended for drinking purposes, but some states restrict proof content down to the 160 range.
