Assuming the coin is circulated and has no mintmark, the 1887 Morgan dollar is a common coin. For an accurate assessment of value the coin needs to be seen and graded. Most coins show a lot of wear. In general retail values for low grade coins are $32.00-$34.00, better grade are $35.00-$36.00 and coins showing almost no wear run from $37.00-$39.00. 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.

∙ 15y agoIn 1878 dimes, quarters, halves, and dollars all had a picture of Miss Liberty, had the word Liberty on them, and were made of silver. Please post a new question with the coin's denomination. Also look on the back for a small S, O, or CC. If you find it, include that information in your new post - it's the mint mark and can have a big effect on the coin's value.

∙ 13y agoFirst thing is, Seated Liberty dollars and Trade dollars are two different series of coins. Your question is confusing because a "Seated Liberty Trade dollar" does not exist. Also 1873 was the last year of issue for Seated Liberty dollars and the first year for Trade dollars, both are dated 1873 and both show "Miss Liberty" in a seated position, the Trade dollar has a much different reverse that has "TRADE DOLLAR" at the bottom of the coin. Assuming the coin is circulated and has no mintmark, the 1873 Trade Dollar in average circulated condition has retail values of $105.00 to $250.00. A Seated Liberty dollar with no mintmark in the same grade range is $240.00 to $510.00. 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.

Why does a 1847 seated liberty have the back of a 1874 is this a reissue?
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.
Meaning of liberty seated silver dollar?
The term "Seated Liberty Dollar" refers to silver dollars produced in the United States between 1840 and 1873. The coins have and image on the obverse (front) of a woman representing Liberty seated, facing left (although with her body facing right), with a shield in front of her. Note that "Gobrecht Dollar", dated either 1836 or 1839, has a very similar obverse but a different eagle on the revese (back) - it is generally considered to be a pattern coin. Note that the Trade Dollar, produced between 1873 and 1878 (with proofs made until 1885) for trade in the Far East, also has a seated depiction of Liberty, but the image of the woman is different (she is, amongst other things, holding a branch in front of her), and the reverse has the words "TRADE DOLLAR". Finally, note that the Liberty Seated device also appeared on the half dime, dime, quarter and half dollar during much of the Liberty Seated Silver Dollar's time of circulation.
