To sell to a dealer, (who may just send it to be melted down) about $30.75 on the high end.
To sell to a collector, (who really wants or needs it for part of a collection) maybe $50 on the high end.
To another person with a preference to silver or gold or some other precious metal as a means of exchange as opposed to FRN's (federal reserve notes) this item could be traded for goods and/or services valued around 31 FRN's / aka $31 USD.
Silver is really just a merchant class metal and the more value USD's loose the better your silver will shine against the Fiat currency.
So, you might want to just hang onto it.

Not a buffalo. 1943 cents have a picture of Lincoln on the front and a pair of wheat ears (stalks) on the back. Not silver, either. Please read the related question linked below for more information.
These bills are called silver certificates rather than "paper silver dollars". However the last silver certificates were dated 1957. As you can see from the green Treasury seal and the words across the top front of the bill, you have a standard Federal Reserve Note which is only worth $1.
Please don't assume that every old bill is a silver certificate. If it has a green seal it should say Federal Reserve Note across the top front, not silver certificate. There's more information at the question "What is the value of a 1934 US 5 dollar Federal Reserve Note?"
The last $2 red-seal silver certificates were printed in 1896. Nearly all red-seal $2 bills printed after that date are United States Notes, as indicated by the banner across the top of the bill's front. Please look for questions in the form "What is the value of a (date) US 2 dollar bill?" for more details.
It should have its silver weight and fineness somewhere in the design - e.g. "1 oz 999 fine". Convert the fineness to a decimal (e.g. 999 fine = 0.999) and multiply that by the number of ounces, and by the price of silver. Silver changes every day so you'll need to look at a newspaper's business section or search online for "SPOT PRICE SILVER" (without the quotes, of course).
It is a bullion coin and the value of most of them is tied to the market value of silver.
The value of a 1982 silver eagle coin with a design of an eagle on the front and a map of North America on the back can vary depending on its condition and market demand. Generally, these coins are valued for their metal content and numismatic appeal, with prices typically ranging from around $25 to $40.
Silver sells for around $14/oz
From your description the coin is a Americain Silver Eagle that is made from one ounce of 99.9% pure silver, value as of today is about $19.00
What is the value of a Silver Platter / WM Rogers 291 With Eagle Star Perfect condition.
This coin contains .8862-ounce of silver - so at the very least, is worth silver value. If it's uncirculated, these coins retail at between $30 and $35 (or silver value, whichever is highest at the time.)
That's a one ounce silver round, so the value varies with the price of silver. As of 20 June 2012, silver is $27.90/ounce.
As of 6 August 2015, it's worth $14.59. What you describe sounds like a silver round from a private company rather than a national mint, so there's generally no collector value beyond melt price.
What you have is a silver bullion coin. It may have some value to those who collect such things but basically its value is just the silver it may contain. As of April 24, 2010 that value is $18.28 USD.
This is not a coin made by the US mint. It was made by a private mint. It is only worth the value of the metal the coin contains. If the coin is truly silver it is probably worth 5-20 dollars depending on the amount of silver.

The coin is very common, circulated examples sell for $17.00-$38.00
