Was wondering, if you breed a golden laced sebright to a silver laced, what color would the offspring be,?

Depends on which one is silver and which one is gold.

Silver is dominant and sex-linked
Gold cock over silver hen produces gold females and silver males split for gold. So sexable at hatch.

Silver cock over gold hen produces all silver looking chicks, but males will be split for gold, not sexable at hatch.

Someone please correct me if my memory has failed.

what does "split for gold" mean?

 

[WVduckchick]

Males carry 2 copies of the gene (one from each parent) females carry one (received from the father) Split for gold means the male would be carrying one silver copy and one gold copy.

So when those offspring are bred, the split males could donate either color to their future offspring.

(this gets even muddier if the original silver is actually split to begin with lol)
