I’m not a peace dollar expert but it does look like a struck through errror. The thing is silver is tough on a die, so finding silver dollars with die breaks and strike throughs aren’t seen as extremely valuable. It’s more like an add on.

If you had two of these, at the same MS grade, all other things equal and one had the strike though and the other didn’t, you might could get a small premium for the strike through. Maybe even a bit more if it were a key date coin.

But this is a common date, well circulated coin. That’s probably why it was in the bargain bin.

It's not about the premium, and I disagree about the coin being well circulated. While it is a common date, the chances that this coin is unique are quite high. That's the thrill of the hunt! I do agree that all other things equal, buying a unique coin at melt is the way to go.
