What is the value of a mercury winged liberty silver dollar on the front no mint date and a column with branches on the back?

The winged liberty (Mercury) design was never used on a dollar coin, only on the dime from 1916 to 1945. If you have something larger than a dime and with no date it's not a coin. It's either a bullion piece or a "fantasy" item that replicates the Mercury design. If it's a bullion piece it will have the silver content and purity marked somewhere on it. The current price of silver is about $17/oz so that would tell you its value. If it doesn't have any silver content on it, it's probably just silver plated. You can always have it examined by an appraiser, but if it's not pure silver it's probably not worth more than a couple of dollars. There are many large replica "coins" available. For example I have a "penny" that's about 100mm in diameter that cost about 3 bucks in a novelty shop, and serves as my coaster at work.
