It sounds like a privately-issued piece, but more details are needed.
Does it say something like "1 oz silver" on it? If so it would be a bullion piece worth about $17.
If it doesn't have that, it's probably more of a medal or token than a coin. If so, try posting a new question that provides more info such as any wording on the coin.
Yes. This coin is called a Walking Liberty Half Dollar.
The date on a half-eagle gold coin should be on the front of the coin underneath the head (Liberty or the Indian). And on the 1/10 ounce American Gold Eagle, the date is to the right of the personification of Liberty.
The date is 1857 not 1837 It's a Flying Eagle one cent coin, that was only struck from 1856 to 1858
Liberty's head faces the left and so does the eagle no matter which way you turn the coin. the word UNITED is not on the obverse (front) of the coin but on the reverse in the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA above the eagle. Lay the coin flat with obverse up, turn the coin left to right and the eagle should be upside down each time you turn it. If the eagle is rightside up, you may have a rotated die error but I think it's more likely a counterfeit coin. Take it to a qualified professional for an assessment
The coin referred to was minted for Monex International Ltd, a commodities brokerage, by the Royal Canadian Mint. It was minted from 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver. Coinpage.com refers to the coin as a "Monex International silver round". As for the value, that would be based on the market price of silver more than anything else.
The woman is Susan B. Anthony, and the coin is still worth one dollar.
That's a Susan B. Anthony dollar coin, and it's worth one dollar.
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
Be more specific, which coin? Also compare your coin to others - remember the backs of ALL US coins are oriented 180º versus the front.
The mintmark (if any) will be found under the 2 in "2002" on the front of your coin. Keep in mind that your coin may bear no mintmark.
The coin is a Morgan dollar and assuming no little letters on the back of the coin under the eagle (S-O-CC) the value is $17.00-$26.00
It didn't cost anything, because there was no such thing yet. The first Gold Eagle bullion coins were minted in 1986.
