Unfortunately this ones been heavily polished, kills pretty much all numismatic value. Worth a small premium over melt.

If it is genuine, melt plus a small premium because it is polished. The date appears to be too close to neck.

Polished to death.

If it's real it's worth a few dollars over melt at the most.

Given the photos posted, the date's location does appear a bit off. Check this legit example:

Looks genuine but polished. The date position is consistent with VAM-43, a very near date variety.

Polished to death. All the original frost stripped off. Shame.

Measure and weigh it to make sure it is genuine. If so, it's polished so worth melt value. Should be 38.1 millimetres (1.50 in) in diameter and weigh 412.5 grains (26.73 g). Melt on a Morgan is $21.44 right now.
