This a well-known fake dated 1851. The piece has no collectible value.
It's not worth anything, because it's a fake.
The 1851 Indian dollar is a well known novelty coin (technically not a counterfeit, as there was no genuine version in the first place). It was made in China, contains no silver, and isn't worth anything.
Nothing, because it's a fake.
If it's a genuine 1851 Seated Liberty silver dollar, which was the lowest mintage year for that coin, it's easily worth $5,000 in extremely worn condition, and significantly higher in better condition.If your 1851 dollar has an Indian head on the front and says "1 DOLLAR 1851" on the back, then what you have is a Chinese-made novelty coin that's not worth anything

From your description, this is a known privately made novelty piece. It is NOT an official U.S. Mint issued coin. A real silver dollar dated 1851 is a Liberty Seated dollar. The obverse of the coin has the Indian head design that is similar to the Indian cents of 1859 -1909. The reverse has the denomination of 1 dollar and the date within a wreath. It has no numismatic collectible value.
A genuine 1851 Seated Liberty silver dollar is a rare date, worth a few thousand dollars even in poor condition. If it's an 1851 Indian Head dollar, then what you have is a Chinese novelty coin, and it's not worth anything.
That depends if you mean 1 cent or 1 dollar, and if it's a silver or gold dollar. The price range could be anywhere from $10 to over $1,000. If by chance it has an Indian head design on it, resembling the Indian cent, and the back says 1 DOLLAR 1851, then it's a novelty coin, and it's not worth anything.
No U.S. silver dollars have an Indian Head design, so if you have one it's not real. A genuine silver dollar coin dated 1851 would be a Seated Liberty coin. I have seen many 'fantasy' silver rounds with the Indian Head design with different dates, but they all have the 1oz .999 fine silver markings somewhere on the coin.
There were two types of dollar coins struck that year. Neither one carries an Indian head design. The large silver dollar carries a Seated Liberty image, while the small gold dollar carries a Liberty Head image. What you have is a well known novelty/fantasy piece. The 1851 Indianhead dollar isn't a counterfeit because there was never a real version produced by the U.S. Mint. They're made in China, contain no silver, and aren't worth anything.
No Indian Head silver dollars of any date have been struck by the U.S. Mint. The piece is a silver "Art Round" back-dated as 1851, not a coin. It should be marked as .999 Fine Silver with a weight on it. Value is tied to the Spot Price of silver at time of sale. Today about $30.00.
The 1851 Liberty Seated Dollar is valued from $10,000.00 to $45,000.00
