How much is a silver plated dollar worth?
Without the year of manufacture, country, etc this cannot be answered. A hundred year old coin could be worth a decent amount, a newer one produced yesterday would be worth about half a cent. Silver plated items do not have a massive value, because they're only around 0.5%-3% silver, while the other 97% is common metal. Re-ask the question with more information on the coin.
Is there a way to test the safety of old silver plated flatware?
Yes, tread on it then hit it with a hammer.
How much is silver plated worth?
Likely not as much as you'd like, but it's not like pure silver that can be sold for the value of silver. But I think it would depend on a number of factors such as what the item is, the quality, how old it is, how much wear is shown, and where and how you're selling it. Even who owned it could affect the value.
Are old silver ice buckets worth anything?
An old silver buck could be worth something, you should have it appraised. It could also be melted down into silver and is worth the current price of silver times the weight of the bucket.
How do you dissolve silver from silver plated silverware?
I assume you are thinking of taking a bunch of old silver plated items, removing the silver and selling it as sterling. However, it's not feasible to do that. There are acids that will dissolve the silver, but all of them will also dissolve the copper or brass underneath the silver plate, so you will still have to send it to a refiner before you can sell it. The cost of the acid plus the cost of the refiner is approximately 42 times the value of the silver you would obtain, making it economically unfeasible to make a profit from removing the silver from silver plated items.
Wyoming quarter that looks to be all silver its has no copper line on the side like all the others and it has a ring on the back around half of the riders body is this worth anything?
If it has a D or P mint mark next to Washington's wig, it's a normal coin that has been plated and is worth only 25 cents. If it has an S mint mark it's a proof coin that was accidentally spent. It may be a silver proof which would at least be worth about 3 bucks for its metal, but again it could be plated. To distinguish a plated coin from a real silver one, compare its weight to a normal quarter. If you can't get hold of an accurate scale you can make an old-fashioned popsicle stick balance. A silver coin will be a bit heavier than a standard copper-nickel one; 6.25 gm for the silver coin and 5.67 for the copper-nickel one.

How much is a 1898 - 1901 gold 1 dollar coin lady head on front eagle on back?
The U.S. stopped making gold $1 coins in 1889. If you have a large Morgan dollar that appears to be gold, it's actually a silver dollar that is either discolored or plated. If it's plated it'll only be worth its silver melt value, around $8 to $10. BTW, the "lady" on old U.S. coins is Miss Liberty!!!
