You have a reproduction of the 1882 dated Morgan, struck according to specs in silver for collectors who want a flawless silver dollar but can't afford the thousands of dollars for a genuine piece. Details are the same(that's why you need the word "COPY") except that the reproductions used replicated dies to strike the coins. I have seen many of these silver reproductions being sold in the range of $30 to $40 each, and they were actually minted in limited quantities and in high quality finish.

If it's silver, it's automatically got -some- value. But probably very little beyond the value of the silver itself. You’ve bought a reproduction.
