This is a Replica of 1799 U.s. Draped Bust Dollar No Motto.
The Bust Dollar is a silver dollar coin issued by the United States government, equal to 100 cents. The Bust Dollar was minted 1795-1804, and is named for the design of liberty on the obverse that was uniform with all lesser currencies of the United States at the time (non-gold coins).
The coin has two different reverses, the earlier being the reverse from the Flowing Hair Dollar that preceded the Bust Dollar and the second being a heraldic eagle design that emulates the Great Seal of the United States. The obverse and second reverse were designed by Robert Scot, with the first reverse designed by John Eckstein.
There are only 4 known genuine 1861 C.S.A. Seated Liberty half dollars. Many replicas and counterfeits exist.
Although "Miss Liberty" is seated the coin is not a Liberty Seated dollar (1840-1873), it's a 1877 TRADE DOLLAR (1873-1885) as stated on the reverse. Authentic circulated examples have retail values of $120.00- $350.00. NOTE: The entire series of these coins is known to have replicas, copy's & counterfeits.
Trade dollars were only struck as proof coins in that year. If your coin has a picture of Miss Liberty in a sitting position and the words TRADE DOLLAR on the back, you should have it checked for authenticity; there are many counterfeits. If it only has a picture of Miss Liberty's head you have a Morgan dollar, not a Trade dollar. See the Related Link in that case.
