For any coin (not just wheat cents) the term "proof" means that the coin was struck from special highly-polished dies and packaged for sale to collectors. Proof coins have a mirror-like surface and more finely-detailed images than normal coins that are struck at high speed from standard dies. Today many proof coins are struck as "satin finish" coins. The portraits or other images are given a fine sandblast finish while the backgrounds are mirrored, so the coin resembles a cameo portrait.

The wheat design was discontinued in 1958. If your coin has the Lincoln Memorial on its back, it's a circulation issue worth face value only. There is at least one possible 1959 wheat cent known to exist but its authenticity is still the subject of a lot of debate among coin experts. If your coin it has a wheat back but a 1959 date, I'd have it examined by a dealer but my guess is you will find out it is either an altered coin or a fantasy piece made outside of the Mint.
