There are two varieties of the seated dime for 1837 both are worth about the same, with the small date variety being worth slightly more. I'm guessing your coin is circulated and fairly well worn. If that is so it can be worth anywhere from $25 to $400 depending on how worn the coin is. Take it to a coin dealer for an accurate appraisal.

What is the value of the 1851 us Morgan liberty silver dime?

The coin is NOT a "Morgan Liberty" dime. It is a Liberty Seated (1837-1891) dime. Assuming the coin is circulated and has no "O" mintmark, the 1851 Liberty Seated Dime is considered a more common date of this type. Circulated coins are very common. For an accurate assessment of value the coin needs to be seen and graded. In general retail values for low grade coins are $12.00-$15.00, better grade are $20.00-$50.00 and coins showing almost no wear run from $100.00-$240.00. Values are a market average and only for coins in collectible condition, coins that are bent, corroded, scratched, used as jewelry or have been cleaned have little or no value to a collector or dealer.
