You should take a picture scan of the coin you are referring to. Then show it to us on this website so that we can help you identify the details of your coin in question. Verbal description is too vague for us to answer your question.

Its a morgan dollar. You can check the value on the site www.pcgs.com under the category coinfacts.

Hi Mitch! The picture scan that you provided is a U.S. Morgan 1898 one dollar. However, it appears to be a base metal counterfeit. I'm pretty sure it only weighed between 19-22 grams respectively. This was made by the Chinese forgers mostly as a souvenirs for tourist and would normally cost P30.00 each. The golden brown color is a brass aluminum alloy lightly plated with silver. You can still find these kind of coins along Ongpin street in downtown Manila.

This Morgan dollar was silver plated but for sure it was cleaned and the plating got off.
