There were no historical re-strikes of the 1880 Morgan dollar (as in, dollars dated 1880 that were made in, say, 1882), however the basic design of the Morgan dollar remained constant from 1878-1921 when it was discontinued in favour of the Peace Dollar. However, as with all historical coins there is the possibility of counterfeits, though, the 1880 Morgan dollar would be unlikely to be targeted (it isn't a rare date and most circulated examples trade for close to melt with the exception of the 1880-CC issue which is a bit higher but by no means an incredibly expensive coin) and most (modern) counterfeit coins would be off-metal strikes because of this (as in, the coin is struck in lead, white-metal or is silver-plated copper) and would be easy to identify.

I think you're probably refering to the 1986 Statue of Liberty Centennial Dollar (which has the words "Ellis Island Gateway to America" on the obverse to the left of the Statue of Liberty). The coin is worth about $13.50, whether it's the Uncirculated coin with a "P" mintmark from the Philadelphia mint or the Proof coin with the "S" mintmark from the San Francisco mint. It is 90% silver with 0.7736 troy oz ASW ("Actual Silver Weight"), meaning that the "melt value" is about $11.00 (as of December 3, 2007).
