Assuming the coin is circulated and has no mintmark, the 1874 is a more common issue Trade Dollar. It is also known that the entire series of Trade Dollars are about the most counterfeited of all U.S. silver one dollar coins. For an accurate assessment of value the coin needs to be seen and graded. Most coins of this type have " Chop Mark's" and seen heavy use and show a lot of wear. In general retail values for low grade coins are $180.00-$280.00, better grade are $350.00-$520.00 and coins showing almost no wear run from $600.00-$750.00. Values are a market average and only for coins in collectible condition, coins that are bent, corroded, scratched, used as jewelery or have been cleaned have far less value to a collector or dealer.

No general-circulation silver dollars were minted from 1874 to 1877. If you have a coin that says TRADE DOLLAR on the back, please see the Related Question.
The U.S. did not strike any silver dollars with that date. The only dollar-type coins issued that year were Trade Dollars. See http://www.numismedia.com/fmv/prices/trddlr/pricesgd.shtml for a price guide. If your coin does not have the words "Trade Dollar" on the reverse I'm afraid that it is a fantasy piece or possibly an outright counterfeit.
A U.S. one dollar silver coin dated 1874 can only be a Trade Dollar. You will find it marked so on the reverse of the coin. This series of coins was issued (1873-1885) to compete with other countries in Asia. It needs to be seen for an assessment of value. Assuming it's circulated and has no mintmarks. Values run from $90.00-$250.00 for average circulated coins.
The 1847 Liberty Seated Dollar reverse is not the same as a Trade Dollar dated 1874. The eagles face different directions, Liberty Seated is left and the Trade Dollar is right. Also on the obverse of the Liberty Seated coin the body is facing right with head left and with the Trade Dollar the body and head are both facing left. The only way a 1847 dollar would have the reverse of a 1874 Trade Dollar is if it's counterfeit. I suggest showing it to a collector or dealer for their opinion.
No, an 1874 Trade Dollar should not stick to a magnet if it is genuine. Trade Dollars were minted in silver, which is not magnetic. If a Trade Dollar sticks to a magnet, it is likely a counterfeit or altered coin.

Why is 1873 worth less than 1874 in the same condition?
