Greetings
I bought a roll of these 1964 Kennedys a while back. They all look exactly like each other. Are these possible proofs? The dealer just advertised them as BU/Gem.

Almost certainly not, but still a magnificent coin and very well preserved. Proof is proof and the seller could have got significantly more for them if they were indeed proof and would have emphasized that significant detail. If he said that they were Gem/Brilliant/Uncirculated and similar terminology, he was merely using adjective terms suggesting that they were uncirculated (MS 60) or higher without assigning a numerical grade. I have attached a link for you to better understand numismatic terminology as those mentioned above, proof, proof like, and many others. To better help you with such coins, you really need to work on your photo skills. I suggest placing the coins on a blank white sheet of paper and photographing subject coins in natural daylight without the use of artificial light or flash.

Never saw many of those abbreviations. The coins are indeed so mirror like and well preserved I thought they could be proof or proof like. Yes, I never was a good photographer. White sheet seems like it would be better than cloth. I will try near a window on a sunny day but unfortunately it is raining for several days straight here. Thanks again!
