a proof-like is fairly easy, there is a reflective surface on a coin that is meant for circulation (ordinary dies.) They are very popular on Morgan dollars, but fairly scarce on Barber coinage. Referred to as PL's.
Then there are DMPL, for Deep Mirror Proof Like. Very scarce, and highly popular. Perhaps you should check out a Morgan dollar site for more info. For beginner collectors it is often difficult to differentiate between DMPL and PL.
Ordinary Unc? Not sure what you mean, but it would be frosty, with no reflectivity to the surface.
Special unc? I will presume that you are referring to the SMS (special mint sets) from 1965 to 1967.
The surfaces are much nicer than regular issue pieces for the years, fairly reflecting surfaces.
