I'd say the value of something handed down to you from your grandmother would be priceless. On the other hand, you could probably sell it for $8-$12 bucks. Here is a little history... LINK (click here)
Welcome Olson, http://www.pcgs.com/coinguide/guide.chtml is one coin guide- scroll down to peace dollars. Here's the US mint's take on the peace: http://www.usmint.gov/about_the_mint/mint_history/index.cfm?flash=yes&action=peace_dollar I'm not good enough at grading to tell for sure about yours, but a 23 peace in au to low mint sate uncirculated retails for around $20. Personally, I think they are one of the prettiest of US coins- they have a nice size and heft.
