Right idea, wrong words- in the PEACE silver dollar- 1921-35 none issued in 1929 owing to depression-naturally. Okay the word Trust is spelled in the Latin style TRVST and not Liberty . this was to play up the Latin effect. the designer was an Italian-American and the Girl on the face was partly patterned after his wife. on the other hand there is little doubt the Morgan dollar was patterned after the ancient Greek Decadrachma of Syracuse with only minor changes to accommodate Liberty on the Hat , etc.The Decadrachma of Syracuse is a very valuable and Big Ancient coin.

It's not an error, all PEACE dollars have the word "TRUST" spelled with a V because their is no U in the Latin alphabet.

It's the word TRUST spelled with a 'V' because the Latin alphabet does not have a 'U' in it. All Peace dollars have this spelling and so do Standing Liberty Quarters.
Please check your coin again. You'll find that the motto is In God WE Trust, and that a 1923 Walking Liberty half dollar has the word spelled using the English alphabet (TRUST) rather than the Roman alphabet (TRVST)The Latin alphabet was only used for lettering Peace dollars (1921-1935) and Standing Liberty quarters (1916-1930) so those would be the only denominations where the word is spelled with a "V".Depending on what you have, there may be more information at the Related Questions.

The word trust is not misspelled. The Peace dollar and the standing liberty quarter both use the Latin spelling of trust as TRVST. 1925 is a common date for the peace dollar, and unless in uncirculated condition, it is worth anywhere from $25-35.
Blame the Romans - it's a stylistic artifact of Latin.
