Spider hit the nail on the head with all of his replies.
1. Very much so, especially since supply is readily available (4.9 million proofs)
2. Coins can grade anything, even in original mint packaging. Usually from PF65-70.
3. I think ebay is a great barometer if you're looking to sell, but you can also check/compare with places like Heritage Auctions and other online sellers.
4. Up to you for grading, but unless it's a 70, I honestly don't think it would be worth it in my opinion.
As for your curiosity on pricing, keep in mind the PCGS prices online are very high compared to the market. I think these are generally prices based on what the most expensive example ever sold for. In the 2007 RedBook, it lists PF67 at $6.50 compared to PCGS PF67 at $12....As far as I know, the RedBook is a much better gauge to current value than the online "guide".
Hope this helps.
