Technically a Peace dollar is a Liberty dollar because all silver dollars minted up till 1935 carried a picture of Miss Liberty, but not all Liberty dollars are Peace dollars - only those made with the specific PEACE design from late 1921 to 1935 are Peace dollars. Normally each type of silver dollar is given a more specific name based on its design, e.g. "Seated Liberty", "Flowing Hair", or Morgan or Gobrecht for the artists who designed them.
All Peace dollars have the same design. The difference between the 1921 Peace Dollar and the 1921 Morgan dollar is that Liberty looks completely different. In the more common 1921 Morgan dollar, Liberty wears a crown with the word "LIBERTY" on it, on the reverse of the Morgan dollar, there is an eagle with olive branches and arrows in its talons along with a wreath under it. On the Peace Dollar, Liberty looks like she has rays coming out of her head and on the reverse there is an Eagle sitting on a rock inscribed "PEACE", there is no wreath on the reverse.
The 1925 Liberty Silver Dollar, also known as the Peace Dollar, features a depiction of Lady Liberty on the obverse, with her hair flowing and a radiant sun rising in the background.

The coin has a diameter of 38.1 mm and is made of 90% silver and 10% copper, giving it a distinct silver-gray appearance. Its design symbolizes peace and was created to commemorate the end of World War I.

The biggest difference is Peace dollars exist and Liberty dollars don't. A very common mistake non-collectors or amateurs make with US silver dollars is they think because the word LIBERTY is on the obverse of a Peace dollar (or other coins) it's called a liberty dollar. No US coin is referred to as just a "Liberty" coin. Also this comes up with Morgan dollars, but with the national motto E PLURIBUS UNUM because it's on the front of the coin.

Is it a Morgan or Peace dollar? A Morgan dollar features a personification of Liberty with a crown saying "LIBERTY" on it. A Peace dollar has a personification of Liberty with rays of light coming out of her head. The reverse of a Morgan dollar has an Eagle with arrows and an olive branch and a wreath under it. The reverse of a Peace dollar features a perched eagle sitting on a rock inscribed "PEACE". Without knowing the type of coin, it is impossible to state a value.
Two types of silver dollars were issued in 1921, a Morgan dollar and a Peace dollar. The easy way to tell the difference is on the reverse (back) of a Peace dollar the eagles wings are folded, on the Morgan they are spread out. Post a new question after you find out which one you have. The values are very different.
There is no 1921 barber silver dollar, it is either a peace dollar (eagle perched on a rock engraved PEACE on the reverse) or a Morgan dollar (Eagle with gothic lettering above it saying "In God we Trust" on the reverse)
