Question
curious about possible value of a 1922 silver dollar with the just spelled j v  st

Answer
Hi Tiffany, Trust isn't misspelled in error. It is in the decorative Greco-Roman style popular at that time.
U.S. silver dollars weigh 26.73 grams and contain .7736 of an ounce of silver. The Peace dollar (1921-35) may have a mintmark letter by the tip of the tail.
Collector value of a coin depends on date, mint mark (if any), number minted and condition of a coin, including amount of wear, any dents, scratches or cleaning as well as collector demand for it.
U.S. coin prices for professionally graded coins: http://www.pcgs.com/prices/
and ungraded coins: http://www.bestcoin.com/united-states-coin-pricing-guide.htm .
Ungraded coins (raw) are worth less depending on amount of wear and collector demand.
You might also try a library for a copy of the Guidebook of United States Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
