The one on the right; better struck, no little dings, satiny finish.

I know nothing of these cents but I would say the one on the right better stuck the one on the left has MD on it which I would not think I would see on a specimen coin

Coin on right, quality is much better on a spec coin.  |

Example on right: - Sharper definition of design features probably to either
double struck,
or
higher striking pressure.
I agree: satin finish for proofs of this period also a strong clue.

My instinct is the one on the left, so I'll pick the one on the right.

I like the well formed rim on the right. The left leaved and branches look better on the left. This is the first time in my life I've said I'm on the left.

Based only on the rim and the denticles, I say the one on the right

May I add that the grading company is most likely PCGS, NGC or Anacs, all US companies and they have from time to time, misidentified Canadian coins.
Just a thought...................
