There were two types of silver dollars minted in 1873.
If you have the kind minted for use within the US, it will have a picture of Miss Liberty seated with her body facing rightward, but looking over her shoulder. The back of the coin has a spread-winged eagle, the words United States of America and the abbreviated denomination ONE DOL.
If you have this type, look on the back of the coin to see if there's a small mint mark letter below the eagle. It may be blank or there may be a CC.
Numismedia lists the following approximate retail values as of 08/2010:
No mint mark (Philadelphia):
Very worn condition - $240
Moderately worn - $330
Slightly worn - $420
Almost no wear - $964

Moderately worn - $10,620
Slightly worn - $17,100

Beware of counterfeit 1873-CC's though.
