Gelatin silver print is a photographic procedure - not the name of a work of art.
In the processing of photographic films, plates or papers, the photographic developer (or just developer) is a chemical that makes the latent image Latent_imageonthe film or print visible. It does this by reducing the silver halides that have been exposed to light to elemental silver in the gelatin matrix. As a generalisation, the longer a developer is allowed to work, the greater the degree of reduction of the silver halide crystals to silver and therefore the darker the image.
The US did not print any two dollar silver certificates after 1899.
Silver certificates were unique to the U.S. They haven't been printed since the 1950s.
Photographic film were not the first material used to record pictures. In the early days, metal plates coated with light sensitive chemicals were loaded into the camera. The first plates were made of copper over coated with silver. Latter sheet metal plates over coated with light senitive chemicals replaced the copper/silver plate. These metal plates were made from sheet metal, the main ingredient was iron. Another word for iron is ferric, Latin for containing iron. Some of the names used for this process was tintype and ferrotype. Latter photographers printed their images on chemically treated paper. These are the photo prints you are familiar with. It was discovered that if the surface of the photo print was made glossy and shinny, the picture appeared sharper and had more contrast. The glossy print therefore become quite popular. The print paper used is over coated with gelatin. This surface when dried is not glossy. To make the print glossy, the wet gelatin print was rolled under pressure onto a highly polished metal plate. The wet gelatin molded itself to the texture of the polished plate. The print was allowed to dry affixed to the plate. When the print dried it was peeled away from the plate. Now the print's surface conformed to the shinny plate and the result was a glossy print. The shinny plate was called a ferrotype plate and the process was called ferrotyping. Modern photo papers are now plastic coated. The coat is a plastic resin thus the paper is called RC for resin coat. This coat is now made glossy or matte or with a texture that looks like cloth. Ferrotyping is no longer required to obtain a gloss.

Yes, but very long ago. The last printing of $20 silver certificates was the 1891 series.
It depends on a number of things - size, condition, rarity etc.
Please check again. The U.S. didn't print any $1 silver certificates dated 1939.
Please check again and post a new question. The US didn't print any silver certificates with that date.
