Question
Hi , i have one silver coin issued by Trade Dollar in 1797 ,420 grains 900 fine , with eagle on side and Miss Liberty by another(but not only the head , is all body ) I don't have one scanner to put this picture to see... But U can tell me if is such coin real, not fake ? and which value can have? thanks very much
Answer
Hi Sorina, the 892 fine U.S. dollar minted in 1797 was 892 fine silver and also not a 'Trade dollar'. This coin should weigh 26.96 grams (416 grains) and would contain .7737 of an ounce of silver. It portrays Liberty from the chest up on one side and an eagle within a wreath.
A 1795 dollar of the same design can be seen here:

If genuine it may be worth about $600 to several thousand dollars depending on amount of wear.
