Now that it's been altered, it's certainly just nominal in value, maybe a couple dollars in silver. Most loose coins are not worth a lot, perhaps a little more than face value. If silver they can be worth 10-15 times face value or more, but rarities are usually in fine collections. I think you should seek out a local dealer and trust them. Why assume a merchant will be dishonest and con you? Perhaps they assume you already got a good offer, and they don't want you finding out later it was worth more.
