1801 Draped Bust Dollar Value?

Welcome to Coin Community, victoria. The value of any given coin is very much related to its' condition - how much circulation it has seen, any damage it may have acquired, etc. The coin you describe is quite rare; only 54,000 were minted and very, very few remain in Uncirculated condition. Unfortunately, it's also a very popular target for counterfeiters because of this rarity. Some of these fakes can be good enough to fool all but a well-educated collector. If real, this coin's value could range from several hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars.

If you'd like, you can email me your pics (superdaveATcoincommunity.com) and I can arrange to post them here.

Here is another poster with either a valuable coin, or a Chinese fake, and we'll never hear from them again.
