On the front it has the goddess of liberty and says e pluribus unum. On the back it says "one silver trade unit." It has a big $ and under it has 999+ and under that it says fine silver.

What you have is not a coin but a silver bullion round. People who want to own a small quantity of precious metal such as silver can buy these at spot plus a sellers commission.
Fridays close for silver was $14.57 per ounce.

It is not a coin, but what is called a silver round as BD in NM already wrote. In order to sell more companies have come up with gimmicks such as "silver trade unit." They can get away with using the $ sign, but not the word dollar. The $ sign is used by more than one country and does not necessarily mean dollar. Some people collect this type item for it's silver, while others like certain designs, or collect a theme. They are usually tied into the price of silver, some may actually be quite rare, but since there are no mintage figures published, no one actually knows. There are some types I saw 15 years ago and I have never seen one again. As for silver, check out a newspaper, for the prices usually change everyday.
