PR stands for Proof, and 65 is the numeric subgrade indicating how well-struck the coin is. Numeric grades within the PR category range from 60 to 70 so a PR65 coin would be an average proof. That of course is still a very, very impressive coin because proofs are specially struck made using highly polished blanks and dies. The coins have mirrorlike or sometimes cameo surfaces. Proof coins aren't meant for circulation; they're normally put into sealed packaging and sold directly to collectors.

PR70 is an almost unattainably perfect strike. Very few coins are ever graded PR70.

What does prf-65 mean in coin grading for coins?

I believe it is the highest quality for a coin, a prf-65 liberty nickel, for example, could auction for about $600CorrectionPR65 describes a specific grade of a specific type of coin. PR stands for Proof, which means that a coin is specially struck to give it (usually) a mirror-like finish, and is sold to collectors rather than used for spending. 65 is a numeric grade that further describes the coin's quality. Numeric grades for proof coins as well as for uncirculated coins (designated MS, or Mint State) normally run from 60 to 70. 60 is the lowest acceptable condition. Of course MS60 or PR60 are still very nice, but not as good as a higher value. In addition very few coins are so well-struck that they qualify for a grade of 66 or above. That means PR65 describes a coin that's (a) a proof strike and (b) almost but not quite the highest possible quality.

Before you sell your coins should you have them graded?

Before you sell, get as many opinions as you can as to grade and value of the coins especially if you have little or no experience, a coin show is a good place to start. I strongly suggest doing some research on the coins you have. Get a copy of "Red Book" it's a guide book for US coins, this will give you a basic idea of grade & value of your coins.


What is PF70 in coins?

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.


Why are 1898 silver dollars woth more than 1897 silver dollars?

In circulated condition, the two coins are similar in value for the same mint mark. In uncirculated condition, the values begin to vary because as the coins grade higher there are fewer coins in the same grade. Fewer coins in higher grades means higher prices. Since there are not the same number of high grade coins in each year of mintage, there becomes a difference in the values from one year to the next.
