It is difficult to say who minted your silver round. It is a bullion coin and there are many private mints who produce such a piece . If you really need to know who minted it, may I suggest you take it to a coin dealer and, with luck, there may be some sort of mintmark on it that could help identify who struck it.
These are bullion coins sold for their metal content rather than as collectibles. The fact that it's painted doesn't affect the value of its silver, about $18.50 as of 07/2008
Not sure what the painted lady silver dollar is. Is it the American Silver Eagle that has the standing liberty painted in some strange colors? If so it could be because that paint or paint-like material makes the idea of melting the coin down a bit of a hassle. Just a thought though.

Painting adds no additional value to the coin. It is still a bullion coin and most of its value is in the silver it contains. The value of the silver changes almost daily. Currently it is about $17.
Its value is based on its silver content. The price of silver changes every day so any specific answer posted here would be out of date almost immediately. While it's not normal WikiAnswers policy to say "use the Internet", that's the best approach in this case. You can check a site such as kitco.com, CNNMoney, etc. for the latest spot prices of 1 oz of silver. Note that the $1 denomination shown on these coins is artificial. They're actually bullion pieces sold for their metal value and not for spending.
Please check again and post a new question. The Walking Liberty design was first used on half dollars minted from 1916 to 1947, and again on silver bullion "eagle" coins starting in 1986. The only US $1 coins minted in 1876 were seated-Liberty trade dollars.
The U.S. Mint has never produced a one troy ounce seated liberty coin. I can only deduce that you have a privately minted one ounce silver round that has a seated liberty design on it. These have been minted for decades and continue to be minted every year by private companies.
In 1861, the only Seated Liberty Dollar was minted in Philadelphia; its value in good condition (G4) is: $400.
In 1996, proof silver eagles were minted at the Philadelphia Mint and these coins bear the "P" mintmark. Bullion silver eagle coins do not have mintmarks. A 1996 silver eagle without a mintmark is a bullion coin and was struck at the San Francisco Mint.
It's likely the piece is a replica or a silver bullion coin of some type, the weight and diameter do not match any coin of the Liberty Seated series of coins
A privately minted silver bullion piece.
The U.S. never minted a coin like that. Walking Liberty halves were made for circulation 1916-1947 The design was brought back for "one dollar" bullion pieces in the 1990s. You may have a fantasy piece or something similar, or you could have a privately-minted bullion coin. Without seeing it, impossible to say.

Silver "eagles" are modern bullion coins minted for collectors. Your coin is either a Morgan dollar or a Peace dollar and was minted for use in ordinary commerce. Please see the Related Questions for more.
Please check again and post a new question. The Walking Liberty design has only been used twice - first on half dollars minted from 1916 to 1947, and then on 1 oz silver bullion pieces minted starting in 1986.
It is a counterfeit.
It sounds like what you have is a privately minted bullion coin that is meant to look like a US Seated Liberty dollar from the mid 1800's. If it is in fact silver, it is likely worth no more than the metal value of the coin (silver is trading at US$35.30 per troy ounce as of midday on March 4, 2011). If it is not actually silver, it probably has very little value.
