Yup, if the coin has anything approaching a full strike you could have actually done okay. One often sees coins that appear to have half a strike in 65 and 66 holders, and while relatively clean, really give no good idea of how the coin is supposed to look. Because of said high relief design finding a common circulation coin that has been well struck up is truly a numismatic challenge.
I (and many others) have been looking at these goofy things for years searching for the right balance of above average strike, good luster and minimal hits in the prime focal areas - combine this with getting the coin at the proper price and, as you might guess, they are few and far between.
So show us what you got and I guarantee you'll know soon enough.

ps. it's not necessary at all to purchase a proof, although if you've got the cash burning a hole in your pocket, the high relief design proof is also available in a 1922 model.....
Here's one in 65 that has a lot of baby blue in the center of obv and a circle on rev that doesn't show in the image. It's also gonna be gone. Has a nice strike for the year. The image has got a bit compressed too many times.

btw, i contend that the '21 is the most frequently cleaned peace dollar, hands down bar none. i dunno why, but the incidence of the cleaning of this date is enormous, very difficult to find perfectly original coins, or w/ original toning. stman, yours is 1 he11uva coin, congrats!!!
I think it's been said that for some reason '21s tend to tone more. I've never seen a brilliant white '21. Could be something in the original handling that predisposes them to toning? As a result it would make sense they would get cleaned more.

If you want a special one get a 1921 proof peace dollar.
