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.
Values for the lower grade coins are $18.00-$28.00 on average depending on grade. Mid grade to upper grade circulated coins run from $54.00 $180.00
About $1200.Less for lower grade coins and more for higher grade coins.
That grade is a very low grade for a coin. Coins are graded on a scale of 1 to seventy with good being 4. It is almost the worst condition a coin can be in.
A Proof coin is a particular issue of a coin not a grade of condition.
The 1914-S is a better date Barber dime retail values for circulated coins are $2.00-$5.00 for low grade coins $10.00-$40.00 for mid grade and the higher grade coins are $75.00-$115.00
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.
Values are $14.00-$22.00 for circulated coins depending on the grade
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.
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.
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.
Most of the Lincoln cents from the teens show very heavy wear, and are valued at 3 to 10 cents. Better grade coins run from 25 cents to $1.50 and the higher grade circulated coins are $3.00-$9.00 depending on the grade
