How can you tell if a silver dollar is real?

You can use a magnet to check if a silver dollar is real - real silver is not magnetic, so if the coin is attracted to the magnet, it is not silver. You can also examine the coin for any seams or irregularities in the design that may indicate it is a counterfeit. Finally, have the coin authenticated by a professional numismatist or coin grading service for a conclusive evaluation.

What is an 1884 Trade Silver Dollar?

Trade dollars were US coins made in silver to trade in the far East. However, your coin, if it is an 1884 Trade Dollar, it is counterfeit. There were only 10 examples minted that year, all of them are known. So, when it comes to value, the only value your coin can have is if it is minted in real silver, if it is minted in real silver, it is worth however much silver is in your coin. If it is silver plated lead, or silver plated copper, or non-silver alloy like "nickel silver" your coin is essentially worthless.
