Question
I have a couple of these silver dollars. My research has not yielded anything or even that were minted. Can you please advise?
Willie,
If you have Ellis Island Commemorative Dollars that are dated 1906, then you either have fakes or altered coins. Real ones should be dated 1986.
The 1986 ones are one of the most common modern commemorative dollars -- currently worth about $12.00

Expertise
My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library, and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So, with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value any U.S. coin you have.
Experience
I've been a coin dealer since the 1980's and a coin collector since the 1960's. I specialize in U.S. Silver Coins and have an active online website -- The Working Man's Rare Coins -- http://www.workingmancoins.com -- offering information and inventory in U.S. coins.
