By the way, this coin should be carrying a "W" mint mark (short for West Point).
A 2002 American eagle Bullion Silver Dollar was minted only at West Point, thereby the coin only carries the mint mark of "W." In uncirculated condition, its value depends on the current price of 1 oz of silver; if the coin is in a proof state, the value is roughly double that. Currently silver is worth $32 per ounce. So they are worth about 32 dollars.
The West Point Mint didn't exist in 1937. "W" is the initial of the coin's designer, A. A. Weinman. Please see the related question for more information.
Thew US Mint in 1996 produced the American Eagle Silver Bullion Dollar. It was minted in three locations: San Francisco ("S"); West Point ("W"); and, Phillie ("P"). The 1996 S and W were minted in a MS-65 and are worth $70.00; the "S" coin was minted in a proof state (PF-65) and is worth: $75.00.
All 2002 Silver Eagle coins were struck at the West Point mint, but only proof coins have the W mintmark. It is on the back (reverse) of the coin under the left wing.

Please check again and post a new question. The West Point mint opened in 1988. Walking Liberty halves were struck from 1916 to 1947. I think you're looking at the monogram of the designer, A. A. Weinman. If the coin is dated 1916, the mint mark is under the date. 1918 and later, on the back at the 8:00 position near the edge. 1917 could be in either place. The mint mark would be a D or S; if no mint mark, then the coin is from Philadelphia. Your new question should of course also include the coin's date, which you didn't provide originally.
The phrase Liberty and the symbol of the Eagle were legislatively required. At one point it meant our money was honest and free (gold and silver). Now that we slave to the Federal Reserve, it means you have the freedom to line their pockets. www.coinmine.com
The term "Silver Dollar" is a widely used [and Misused] term. Is this in fact a coin which says One US Dollar? There are many 'coins' minted today by private firms with as much as 100% silver and since they are not afiliated with the US Treasury, they would not have a mint mark such as you would find on uUS coins in normal [or former] circulation. It is also possible that you have a 'Silver Eagle' which is an authorized US coin. If so, it will have Lady Liberty in a flowing robe, the sun at her feet, and 'In GOD We Trust' to the side. On the back, you should see a bald eagle with 13 stars above his head representing the 13 original colonies, and "One once fine silver One Dollar" printed around the edge. This coin was minted at the US mint in West Point, New York. It is a legal-tender coin, but don't let it go for a dollar! Last time I checked, it was worth over $16.
An old silver quarter dollar will start to melt around 1,763°F (961°C), which is the melting point of silver. However, the exact temperature may vary depending on the specific composition of the coin.
It means the coin is nearly perfect condition. The rating of MS69 is on a 70 point scale.
