Trade dollars were US coins made in silver to trade in the far East. However, your coin, if it is an 1884 Trade Dollar, it is counterfeit. There were only 10 examples minted that year, all of them are known. So, when it comes to value, the only value your coin can have is if it is minted in real silver, if it is minted in real silver, it is worth however much silver is in your coin. If it is silver plated lead, or silver plated copper, or non-silver alloy like "nickel silver" your coin is essentially worthless.
All US Trade Dollars have a picture of Miss Liberty, seated, on the front and a spread-winged eagle on the reverse. The reverse also carries the words TRADE DOLLAR and the coin's fineness (purity) and its weight measured in the old unit of grains. There are nice images at the links below.
