The US made two kinds of dollar coins in 1889. The most common one is the famous "Morgan" silver dollar, named for its designer George T. Morgan. The other type is a $1 gold coin, but these aren't found nearly as often as their silver counterparts.

Morgan dollars are large (38.1 mm) and have a picture of Miss Liberty on the front and a spread-winged eagle on the back. Gold dollars are tiny, smaller than a dime, and have a Native American princess on the front and a wreath on the back. Be careful - a lot of Morgan dollars were privately gold-plated for use in jewelry, etc. but all of them are silver underneath.

Please see the related questions depending on which coin you have.
4-9-11>> Assuming the coin is circulated and has no mintmark, the 1889 Morgan dollar is a very common coin with retail values of $32.00-$39.00 depending on the grade of the coin.
