Appears to have been polished and/or cleaned. XF or AU Details.

I'll bet it's nice to have something that belonged to your grandmother. I'm glad that it went to someone who appreciates coins.
My inexpert opinion is XF.

How can you tell a high relief from a low relief?

Polishing and cleaning coins were common practice decades ago. Added on that, Because grandma must have been an accumulator, I assume she cleaned and polished some of them so "they will be good-looking" without the "tarnish"when you inherit them.
Most certainly this was polished. A coin with XF details simply don't have this kind of shine. It's not high relief either.

In my research I have read about the many variations of this coin in this year... could the finish have something to do with that?

There were the following silver dollar types:
Low-relief Business strike
High-relief business strike
Low-relief proof
High-relief proof
I think.
The example posted shows low-relief business strike.
