Mintage of general circulation SL dollars (liberty holding a flag)ended in 1873. However, Trade Dollars (liberty holding an olive branch)were minted up until 1883 and then a few were apparently minted (off the record) in 1884 & 1885. I think the last auction price for an 1885 was over a million dollars. If you have a Seated Liberty dollar dated 1885 it is most likely a reproduction and not worth much more then its silver content. It is possible you have an 1885 SL Half Dollar and depending on condition they will usually bring at least a couple hundred dollars
