The one you passed on looks to be cleaned and has dead luster. Probably cleaned, too.

The one you bought is a much better coin and appears to be low end uncirculated.

It's always nice to have one of these in your collection!

The one you bought is much better than the first one. Looks like it has nice original surfaces and probably MS.
Rest in Peace

Does the one you bought have cartwheel luster?

Looks MS-62 because the mark on the neck.
It could grade 63, but it's a little banged up for a true 63 grade.

However, nice Peace dollar @KenBerthiaume

Both reasonably well struck, with above average lettering sharpness over the eagle.

2nd coin obviously higher grade, but I see some poorly defined parts on the high points over Liberty's ear.

Need to hand hold, and examine with a 10X loupe, just as the TPGraders do. If there is full luster on those high points, then it has to be MS62 or 3.
If rubbing can be seen on the high points with the help of a 10X loupe, then it has to be graded in the AU55-8 range.

@sel_69l, You can use a 7X lens loupe just as well.

Sometimes, it is very difficult to pick out very minor die wear from coin wear, using an on screen picture.
