What does "proof like" mean? I'm not that knowledgable about coins, but I was born in '64 so I like to get coins from that year when I find them.

When coins are struck with a new die or freshly polished die they will have an almost frosted look with almost mirrored backgrounds hence the phrase "proof like". A high grade uncirculated Morgan for example if it were one of the first minted would be a proof like or deep mirrored proof like coin. The older proof like coins hold a premium over just a regular coin.
