You are correct to be suspicious. Trade dollars were only issued for circulation from 1873 to 1878. The last few decades have seen a huge influx of counterfeit coins, mostly from the Far East. Their quality ranges from excellent to laughably bad. The latter often have impossible dates and designs, as you see on your coin. A couple of years ago I saw a supposed "Washington quarter" that was dated 1865. Another fake, needless to say.

What is an 1817 trade dollar worth?

Trade dollars were only minted from 1873 to 1885, and no dollar coins of any kind were minted for circulation from 1804 to 1835. Trade dollars are among the most widely counterfeited dollar-sized coins so if your coin purports to be a trade dollar dated 1817 it's a fake.

Please take another look at your coin. It almost certainly will have a picture of James Madison and the dates 1809-1817 or James Monroe and 1817-1825, and the back will have an image of the Statue of Liberty. That means you have a modern Presidential $1 coin. Hundreds of millions of them have been minted, and they have no added value.
