I think you're probably refering to the 1986 Statue of Liberty Centennial Dollar (which has the words "Ellis Island Gateway to America" on the obverse to the left of the Statue of Liberty). The coin is worth about $13.50, whether it's the Uncirculated coin with a "P" mintmark from the Philadelphia mint or the Proof coin with the "S" mintmark from the San Francisco mint. It is 90% silver with 0.7736 troy oz ASW ("Actual Silver Weight"), meaning that the "melt value" is about $11.00 (as of December 3, 2007).
A 1900 silver dollar is a lady liberty Morgan silver dollar, not an Ellis Island silver dollar. There is no record of an Ellis Island silver dollar, so this may be some sort of commemorative coin.

They did not mint any silver dollars in 1906,at least thats what my deep research has shown! All I see is information pointing to it being a fake but also reference to it being a centennial coin 90% silver 10% copper and worth about $18.00 according to weight and current market value!
If it is dated 1908, it is a cheap Chinese counterfeit of the 1986 dollar, and it has no value.
The coin is the 1986 Statue of Liberty Centennial dollar, it's 90% silver and 10% copper.
More than 6 million dollars
It's not a dollar, no dollar US coins were issued in 1906 the last year was 1904. The coin is likely a 1906 Barber Half dollar and if it has so much wear you can't read the words HALF DOLLAR on the reverse the value is just for the silver in the coin, about $6.00
Sorry no US silver dollars dated 1906
its fake according to ebay. There was never such a dollar coin made in 1906. These are forgeries from China from what I have read.
2.5 dollars :)
In average condition, it's worth about a dollar.
Look at the back of the coin, you will likely see the word half dollar. No US one dollar coins exist dated 1906. Post new question.
If you have a US silver dollar with a date of 1906, I'm sorry, you have a counterfeit coin. The US Silver dollar was not minted in 1906. Some of these are actually silver coins, and may have a value for the weight of silver they contain, but they are not collector's coins.
Check that coin again. The U.S. didn't mint any dollar coins that year.
Sorry, but 1 dollar gold coins were not issued in 1906. Only 2.5, 5, 10, and 20 dollar gold coins were made. Check your date.
E. H. Ellis died in 1906.
