How is Judas' betrayal for silver different from Peter's denial to save his own skin?

Well put, my friend. There is no difference. They are the same act. Peter begged for forgiveness. Judas could not.

Because Peter denied Jesus to save his OWN skin. Judas sold Jesus out to be captured and punished for greed.

I guess it's because Peter realised his mistake and made amends for the rest of his life to try and atone for that mistake. Just that perhaps, repentence. Judas, as far as we know, thought that there was no hope for repentence, that he could just escape by killing himself.
