All trade dollars issued in 1797 have Miss Liberty sitting on a column of bricks holding a ribbon that has LIBERTY printed on it in her right hand and an olive branch in her left on the front and an eagle cluching 3 arrows in its left talon and the olive branch in its right on the back of the coin.

If your coin is a genuine 1797 Liberty dollar its value could range from $1,000 to $20,000 depending on its condition and die variety. You would need to have it authenticated by a certified dealer or major numismatic agency such as PCGS or PNG before you could determine its exact worth.

However ... over the last few decades HUGE numbers of counterfeit dollars have been made, mostly in the Far East. Some are very good while others are laughably bad, with impossible designs and dates. If you have a 1797 coin that states "Trade Dollar" on its reverse, I'm sorry to say you have a fake, guaranteed.
