Pics aren't the best but assuming it's a legit details coin you're talking $100+

The photos are not very good. The coin appears to be a XF coin that would put the value at $100 plus. If the coin is a problem coin, the value would be about $70. I am not sure why anyone would sell the coin for $20. There appears to be something going on with the reverse rim of the coin. I would not buy the coin unless I had return privileges because I would want to do a magnet and weight test.

I weighed it and used a magnet. The coin passes. I actually bought it a while back when silver was higher. My friend sold it to me. His father had left it for him. Because of what appears to be damage on the coin I was nervous at the time to pay that for it. Here's some better pics. I just recently pulled it out again and thought I'd see what you guys thought.

You made a nice buy on a XF details coin.

If you don't mind "details" coins, then you did very well.
