Assuming the coin is circulated, the 1847 Liberty Seated Dollar is a higher mintage fairly common coin. For an accurate assessment of value the coin needs to be seen and graded. Most coins show heavy wear. In general retail values for low grade coins are $225.00-$325.00, better grade are $400.00-$650.00 and coins showing almost no wear run from $700.00-$1,450.00. Values are a market average and only for coins in collectible condition, coins that are bent, corroded, scratched, used as jewelery or have been cleaned have far less value if any to a collector or dealer.
The weight of the 1847 Liberty Seated dollar is 26.73 grams.
The 1847 Liberty Seated dollar has no known rare varieties and the coin itself is not rare or scarce.
The 1847 Liberty Seated Dollar reverse is not the same as a Trade Dollar dated 1874. The eagles face different directions, Liberty Seated is left and the Trade Dollar is right. Also on the obverse of the Liberty Seated coin the body is facing right with head left and with the Trade Dollar the body and head are both facing left. The only way a 1847 dollar would have the reverse of a 1874 Trade Dollar is if it's counterfeit. I suggest showing it to a collector or dealer for their opinion.
Retail values are $216.00-$810 for circulated examples of a Liberty Seated Dollar of this date.

Ten dollar bills did not exist in the United States in 1847. A ten dollar coin from that year is worth nearly $1500.
A dollar or less.
The first U.S. $1 gold coins were minted in 1849.
