Silver bullion coins are made specifically for their metal content and not the face value. American silver bullion coins are available in either five ounce coins (25¢ face value) or one ounce ($1 face value) coins. Available directly from the mint there is also a huge secondary market because silver is always in demand.
Just in case you look at this coin and ask why is it so spotty the answer is because it is silver. Pure silver like this tends to tarnish if not stored properly. Cleaning it will ruin the coin and eliminate any extra value.
The front has the the classic Walking Liberty design seen on older half dollar coins. It also has LIBERTY, the date, and IN GOD WE TRUST. The reverse has a heraldic eagle under thirteen stars. The reverse contains the value ONE DOLLAR and 1 OZ. FINE SILVER, and the UNTIED STATES OF AMERICA.
