I got this coin which came with 3 Morgan dollars. Any idea what it is and does it have any value in this grade? Thanks.

It isn't a "coin". It's an Indian-style bullion round.

Whether it's genuine silver or not, you'd have to test. These things are being faked in base-metal... as are Morgan dollars.

Which leads me to ask, why does one of the dollars appear to be bigger than the other two? Is it just a trick of the camera lens? If not, then I'd have to lay doubts on the authenticity of the dollars.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

Doesn't feel like silver.......though a little strange for the Morgan's to be ok and this not.

Rotate the bottom picture 90 degrees anti clockwise and I think you have a heavily stylised OM.
I'd also expect to find .999 in western numerals somewhere on the reverse.

What is a heavily stylised OM? Had the edge tested in jewellers today and it is silver, much to my surprise.
