Here is a 1921 Peace Dollar. Are there different varieties? PCGS lists one as "high relief". Is there another variety?

All 1921's are high relief.

Probably.

I maybe wrong as I`m guessing die fatigue. They had only a couple weeks to make the 1921`s as all where made in December 1921. That and a limited amount of dies where made as they where very pressed for time and resources. So they where often used till they wore out.
If anything, I find it as being more interesting. For this date specifically, I think it gives it some charector. Though not more or less valuable in my eyes with this example.
Long answer is that there are several varieties cataloged in VAM. The most interesting is the VAM 3, a Top 50 coin, which has a re-engraved ray through the first L in DOLLAR that passes over rather than under the L (yours is not this coin). The next most interesting would be business strikes from the dies used to make the proofs (VAM 1F, 1G, and 1H), which are identifiable through die polishing lines. I can't make such an attribution from the pictures of your coin, and it might not even be possible to do so with a coin of that grade.
