Assuming you have a large coin with a picture of Miss Liberty walking and the sun in the background, you have a bullion coin sold for its silver content and not for spending. The dollar denomination is artificial. At the current price of silver it's worth about $17.
About $16 at the current price of silver. This is a bullion coin sold for its metal content rather than for use in commerce. The $1 denomination is artificial.
It depends greatly on the year, early silver dollar proof dollars can be worth several thousand dollars, modern silver dollar proofs of common dates might be worth $20 or so for silver scrap.
If you are referring to a large coin bearing a picture of Miss Liberty walking, you have a bullion piece sold for its metal content, and worth about $17 at current prices. The denomination of these pieces is artificial because they're sold as precious-metal investments, not for spending. OTOH if you're using the generic term "silver dollar" to refer to one of the small dollar coins carrying a picture of Sacagawea on the front, it's made of copper and manganese, and is worth face value only.
One dollar, and there's no gold in it.
