Check the weight. A genuine Morgan silver dollar weighs 26.73 grams. A fake might have the correct dimensions, but the wrong metal will have the wrong weight.

If you mean a real silver dollar, such as a Morgan or peace dollar the thickness is 2.4mm
If the coin is a real Morgan or Peace dollar. The value is just for the silver, about $20.00.
It's not a real Morgan silver dollar. It's a modern bullion piece (as indicated by the ".999 fine silver") that copies the Morgan design. The good news is that depending on the amount of silver it contains, it could be worth more than the melt value of a real Morgan. Morgan dollars contained about 0.77 oz. of pure silver, so if your piece is 1 oz it's worth about 1/3 more at melt. Of course, a real Morgan could also be worth MUCH more as a collectible depending on its date and mint mark, too!

It's actually a real silver dollar called a Morgan dollar after its designer George Morgan. The "eagle" coins weren't issued until the 1980s and are bullion coins sold as investments and not for spending, but Morgan dollars were struck for use in ordinary commerce back in the days when silver was worth far less than it is now. You could get them at a bank and spend them like any other coin.

I wsnt sell silver dollar 1804 year.
Eisenhower was born in 1890 and did not appear on the dollar coin until 1971. A U.S. silver dollar dated 1884 is a MORGAN dollar, the obverse depicts "Miss Liberty" not a real person. The 1884 Morgan dollar is common and assuming the coin is circulated, still in collectible condition and has no mintmarks, values as of 8-29-11 are $37.00-$41.00
No, its not real silver. It's made of copper and nickel.
Not many fake coins are made from real silver or gold. Take it to a jeweler to be tested, most will do this for you.

5-5-11>> If you mean a real silver dollar made in 1935 or BEFORE, as of today they are worth $29.00 just for the silver.
Any "Morgan dollar" that's 5 inches in diameter isn't real. You have some kind of copy, replica, or maybe even a privately-made bullion piece. Unless it indicates that it's made of silver (e.g. it says something like ".999 fine" on it somewhere) you'd need to have it examined in person to know what it is. And without an indication that it's made of silver, it's likely to be a base-metal replica.
