It depends on the condition of the coin and if there is a mint mark on the coin. The mint mark is on the reverse side just to the left of the tail feathers.
According to PCGS (who I think overstates prices) it could be anywhere from $16.00 to $40,000.00 depending on the condition and mint mark.
To get a better idea of condition go to a local library and see if they have the Red Book in the coin collecting section. In it you will find descriptions of the different grades by coin type.
This should help you get a better idea of what your coin is worth.

If it is just an 1880 with out mint mark ( mint mark on the eagle side below the wreath at bottom) then it had a mintage of 12,600,000 and is not a scarce coin as silver dollars go. It's value in grade very good is $13.50 and goes up to $16.00 in extra fine. So there is not much of a spread here between low circulated grade and high circulated grade. The above values are about what a dealer would pay. If the coin has a mint mark re-ask the question giving the mint mark. No matter what's it value, you have a coin that has history. It could have bought a bottle of red eye in the old west, or was part of bank loot. A lot went on in 1880.
