This question comes up frequently. If you think about it for a few moments, how likely would it be for the Mint to make the same "mistake" on hundreds of millions of coins struck over a 14-year period without fixing it? The explanation is that it's NOTan error, just artistic license.
In the 1920s it was a common affectation for artists to use the Latin alphabet for items that were designed in the Classical style. Latin doesn't have the letter U; V was both a vowel and consonant like our use of the letter Y. You had to figure out the sound from the context in which the letter was used.
Both dollars and quarters from that era used the Latin spelling so they both read TRVST. In addition many buildings and other artwork from that era were all lettered with the Roman alphabet.

Is trust spelled with a v on a 1924 silver dollar?
I have a 1924 silver dollar and, yes, it does have trust spelled with a "v".
Do all 1921 and 1923 silver dollars have the word trust spelled with a V?
AnswerAll Peace dollars, which include all 1923 silver dollars and all 1921 Peace dollars*, use the Latin spelling of TRUST, which is TRVST. (Latin had no "v" character, but their "u" looked like our "v." That's why a "w" is called a "double-u" instead of a "double-v.") The Morgan dollar design didn't use this spelling, so 1921 Morgan dollars render the word "TRUST."Note that most 1921 dollars were struck using the Morgan design. These do not have the word PEACE on the back and depict the eagle with its wings open, so they're very easy to tell apart from the Peace design.

How much is a 1929 silver dollar with no mint mark and trust spelled trvst?
Your coin is not genuine if it is dated 1929. There were no Peace Dollars produced in 1929 (however, on genuine Peace Dollars Trust is spelled with its Latinized spelling as Trvst also). Being as your coin is a fantasy piece, it has no collectible value. The only value it has is for its precious metal content, however, not being an official mint product, there is no standard metal content of it. Such a coin could be 100% silver, 90% silver, silver plated, or might contain no silver at all. Since it isn't a genuine coin, I would first off try to see what type of material it is made out of then it would be worth the going price for that metal.
