Note that modern circulation $1 coins don't contain any silver.

What is the Value of 1892 Gold Silver Dollar?

There's no such thing as a gold silver dollar. Dollar coins were made of gold (1854-1889) or silver (1794-1935) but the 2 metals were never mixed. Most likely you have a silver dollar coin that was plated. Unfortunately being plated reduces its value to that of the raw metal in it, about $10 as of 06/2009.

What if your 1899 silver dollar says one and not silver?

Then it's a normal, ordinary 1899 silver dollar. Remember, up till 1964 all dimes, quarters, halves, and dollars were made of 90% silver because the metal's price was controlled. They were used for daily commerce, and weren't sold as bullion pieces so there was no need to mark them as being made of silver - everyone knew it.
