Its worth about $16.50 in Very Good condition (which is not very good at all, actually), $20.00 in Extremely Fine condition (only slightly worn) and $36.00 in Uncirculated condition -- unless it was minted in Carson City (there would be a "CC" mint mark below the center of the wreath on the reverse of the coin), in which case the above values would be $375, $425, and $550. (There are other mint marks - "O" for New Orleans and "S" for San Francisco, but they are no different in value from the un-mint-marked Philadelphia-made variety in this year.) Note that the Morgan silver dollar (of which the 1881 coin that you have is an example) is 90% silver, has 0.7734 troy ounce ASW (Actual Silver Weight) and thus has a "melt value" (as of the February 1, 2008 price of silver at $16.76 per troy ounce) of $12.96.

One dollar??
it all depends as it can be worth a lot but you will need to post a more specific question. an 1881 silver dollar is a Morgan dollar named after the man that designed it. it is 90% silver and 10% copper. the coin weighs nearly an ounce so it is at least worth 80% the price of silver. here is a link to a website that I use all the time for help on coins it is an exact link to the Morgan dollars http://www.golddealer.com/morgan.html
Assuming the coin is circulated and has no mintmark, the 1881 Morgan dollar is a common date of the series. For an accurate assessment of value the coin needs to be seen and graded. Circulated coins are $38.00-$44.00.
The 1881 "looney" is likely a reference to the Canadian one-dollar coin, but it did not exist in 1881. If you're referring to a U.S. coin from that year, it could be worth money depending on its type, condition, and rarity. Common coins from 1881, like the Morgan silver dollar, can have significant value, especially in good condition. To accurately assess its worth, it would be best to consult a coin expert or a numismatist.
