Both are MS - the one on right, recently graded, on left is PCGS old green holder
Provide two grades, one for right and one for the left coin.
Thanks for appeasing me!
The reverse has a bit of light reflection that is not on the coin but from the capsule.

Are you certain you have the correct right-left designation for the coins? The OGH certified coins did not have the prong gasket that you are showing on the left...

I'm going 64 on the prong holder, 63 on the other one. Although it would not surprise me if both were 64.

I would suspect the prong is better in grade, based on the strike, especially the reverse, but also overall, and also the rim cuts on the no prong.
I can't grade Peace Dollars from images well, but let's go with prong = 64, no prong = 62

I think TomB is correct.
Left-65
Right-64

Left with Prongs MS63, Right NO prongs MS62 (Also you can only see 97% of that coin)

I think they are both 64s

I did make a mistake - the OGH is on the right - my bad.
Any more guesses?
Wow - how did you come to 62 for the no prong OGH dollar?
Both 64.

Most seem to agree the coin on the left is the higher grade … so appreciate your expertise on this.
I'd also say both are 64.

Great pictures on both, I think they both look like great coins.

Strike issues make all 21 Peace Dollars look AU to me.
MS64 MS64
Both 64.

Left 63+
Right 62
I have no clue.
I love these “guess the grade” threads!
I have no idea. I do love the Peace dollars, specially the 21s.
My guess, the guesses will historically vary widely and wildly.
OP, I suspect if you would not have noted this is “MS” we would have seen some AU guesses!
Prong holder, MS64
Other holder, MS62.
The '21 is a different beast though, and I think they're pretty hard to grade from photos.

Ummm ... I thought I spelled it out. Strike and rim issues. Could it be higher. Sure. Probably is based on that comment.
But, just so you know, based on the Reverse strike, which looks like wear, I would have said 58 had I not known that it was MS (by your account).
My 2c. YMMV

64/63
The left prong holder has color change in Liberty’s hair which suggests wear, but I’m guessing its the lighting and I’ll go 64 on it.
63 for the coin on the right.
64/65
63 left / 63 right
MS-64 on #1
MS-62/3 on#2
Hoard the keys.
As viewed... Left is 64, right is 63. Cheers, RickO
hard to make out the luster but both look to have surfaces and strike of 63.5 & 63 ish respectively. The glimmer of luster will dictate if it goes up or down from there. Agree with @Type2 with 64 (no plus) and 62 as the one on the right looks dull (from an old dip) with a mushy Rev while the one on the right looks to have pop and a better strike w/less frost disturbances.

They are both well struck.
I am going to guess:
Left: 64
Right: 64
Left 64, Rt 63
Were any of us correct?

That’s the beauty of grading. Everyone is correct!
Left = 64 (min marks, good rev luster can be seen)
Right = 62 (flat dull, over dipped as others have stated)
If thats a straw on the V on the left its one of the proof die vams. Hard to tell, both have marks in the area of the straw
Some of you were spot on!!
I personally thought the one on the right (OGH) is undergraded but perhaps not. Good points about the reverse!
All the best —
