The coin needs to be seen to determine this, take it to a dealer or collector for an evaluation.
The difference between high relief and low relief is that high relief has more depth and low relief is more casual and not as 3D. In high relief, it's much closer to 3D.
Low relief sculpture is a technique in which the subject of the sculpture is just barely more prominent than the background. High relief sculpture is a technique in which the subject of the sculpture is very raised and extremely prominent against the background.

In 1921 about one million Peace Dollars had been struck when it was realized that the relief of the coin was too high. That means the features of the coin that you see were actually just a little bit higher than the rim. This was causing the dies to break more often and some of them were even difficult to stack. Production stopped and the coin was redesigned with a lower relief and production of the Peace Dollar resumed in 1922.
