The Artists Proof (AP) is the first print that the print-maker makes to the standard the artist is happy with, all subsequent prints should reach this standard. AP's are therefore #0 in the edition and worth more (sometimes a little, sometimes a lot, depending on the artist) than the numbered limited edition prints that follow.
Not necessarily; the value of an individual piece has to do with its rarity, value, condition, provenance, and demand on the market. If you are acquiring art for its value instead of for its appeal to you esthetically, you would do well to pay for an appraisal so you can evaluate the art as an investment. If you just "like" the art, then why do you care what it's worth? Put it up and enjoy it.

Artist proofs tend to be more valuble due to the fact there is usually only 1 or a couple, and the fact the artist printed it with his own hands.
What is the difference between and artists proof and a limited edition?
For Art: these prints would be made the print shop to use for adjustments in colour, positioning, etc. A number of these or all of them may be discarded, a small limited number (2 or 3) that meet the artists standards might be pulled aside and marked PP and each one would be unique on it's own. Once the colour, press or screen positioning etc. have been adjusted the next step would be the AP (Artist Proof) further adjustments to the image might then be made by the artist before or in lieu of a final numbered edition.

What does EA mean on a lithograph?
"E.A." (Epreuve d'Artiste, the French term for artist's proof), "A.P." or "H.C." were originally conceived to mean a small part of a printed edition to be presented to the collaborators of the artwork or for the personal use of the artist. These were usually not more than 10% of the size of the regular edition. However, it's amazing how many prints we see with the annotation "A.P.", "E.A." and "H.C.". Certain prints have these notations on as many as a thousand prints.

What does As pertaining to art work what does PP numbered mean?
The conventions for numbering prints are well-established, but there are other marks to indicate that the print exists outside of an edition. Artist's proofs are marked "A.P." or "P/A", sometimes E.A. or E.d'A. (épreuvre d'artiste); monoprints and uniquely hand-altered prints are marked "unique"; prints that are gifted to someone, or are for some reason unsuitable for sale, are marked "H.C." or "H/C", meaning "hors de commerce", not for sale - usually a print that is generally reserved for the publisher like an Artist's Proof. The printer is also often allowed to take some impressions for themselves, these are marked with "PP". Finally, a master image may be printed, against which the members of the edition are compared for quality; these are signed-off as "bon à tirer", or "BAT" ("good to print" in French). Sometimes the number of the main, public, edition can be rather misleading - representing 50% or less of the total number of good impressions taken. (Wikipedia)
