The proofs can be bought individually from the mint and come in their own little container with COA, etc. The non-proof coins can not be bought individually from the mint. As far as slabbed coins go, you can have slabbed proof or non-proof coins. Many people remove proof coins from their mint packaging and have them slabbed.

Those tend to be what people are looking for. If you collect non-proof coins, it's up to you whether or not you want to buy slabbed coins.
