Most likely it is just a bullion piece worth 1 troy ounce of silver. Right now it is about $30 or so, but the price of silver rises and falls depending on the minute.
It's not a coin, it's a bullion piece or "round". Its value is tied to the spot price of silver, currently about $12-$13 per ounce.
The coin you're describing sounds like a generic silver round or medallion rather than an official U.S. Mint Liberty Head silver dollar. Its value would be based on the current market price of silver since it contains one troy ounce of 999 fine silver. You can check the current spot price of silver to determine the approximate value of the coin.
Uh, the "man" is Miss Liberty. Your coin is a 1 oz silver bullion piece sold for its metal content and not for spending. Its value will change every day and is slightly above the price of one ounce of silver. You can check the business section of a newspaper or a site such as kitco.com for current values.
That's a Liberty nickel, which contains NO silver. The V on the back is the Roman numeral for 5. 1903 is a relatively common date, currently worth around $2 in worn condition and upwards of $60 if uncirculated.
Please check again and post a new question. The US didn't mint any $1 coins from 1936 to 1970 inclusive.
1. STARS, not "starts" 2. Copper-nickel, not silver 3. Miss Liberty, not just any lady V is the Roman numeral for 5 so you have a nickel. There's more information at the Related Question.
This coin is commonly called the Liberty Nickel, it is made of copper-Nickel, and became to be called the "V" Nickel
I think you are describing a bullion piece issued by a private mint. It should also say .999 Fine Silver and give the weight (probably 1 TR OZ). If so, it is valued for it's silver content, currently about $14.50 / ounce.
The value of silver bars depends on the value of silver, at the time of writing silver is $29.09 per troy ounce so your bar would be worth $29.09. However, precious metal prices are volatile and change on a daily or even hourly basis.
Most sell for a couple dollars over the spot price of silver (currently around $18-$20) but a few specific dates have a numismatic premium. There are also proof coins that command a higher price.
You are describing a US Liberty nickel. It was minted from 1883 to 1912. There are 5 known 1913 Liberty nickels but they were never an authorized issue.
The Walking Liberty Dollar, better known as a Silver Eagle is a US bullion coin. On the obverse (heads) it features a woman personifying liberty, in her hand she has an olive branch and her other hand is outstretched to the sun. Flowing in front of her is an American flag. This is the same obverse (heads) design that was used on the Walking Liberty Half Dollar. On the reverse (tails) it features an eagle with its wings spread, olive branches grasped in one foot and arrows in another with stars above it. It says above the stars "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and below it "1 OZ. FINE SILVER ~ ONE DOLLAR". They are worth generally the price of silver in the coin (with usually a dollar or two added because of the fact it is a coin) which is always higher than the one dollar face value.
