Very difficult lighting for grading... the light source looks like it is behind the coin? The Hand Selected one (top coin) looks better...

Its funny how a little less or little more light can make one look better than the other. I think the better money was spent on the Hand Select based on your photos. Both of them are very nice!
Such great looking coins. Don't know how the HS you have wound up as HS. Looks like a PHS. Your HS looks even better than the any of the PHS that I have seen. Nice find! Easily a MS64.. 64+ or higher, IMHO.
