Silver dollars from 1794 to 1935 were made of 90% silver and 10% copper, neither of which are attracted to a magnet. Only ferrous metals such as steel and iron, and certain other metals such as nickel are attracted to a magnet.

No - they're 90% silver, 10% copper, neither of which have more than a minuscule amount of magnetic properties. If you have a coin that sticks to a magnet it's a counterfeit. The market has been flooded with fakes, some quite good, some laughably bad. Sounds like you have the latter.

If you go by the strict definition of "Liberty dollar" (i.e. a silver dollar made from 1794 to 1935) the answer is yes - these coins are 90% silver and 10% copper. But many people mistakenly call newer $1 coins "Liberty dollars" because they either have the word Liberty or a picture of the Statue of Liberty on them. These coins are either copper-nickel or brass, but not silver.

Are you sure this is a 1924 standing liberty silver dollar? All my resources tell me there were no standing liberty silver dollars minted in 1924. The peace silver dollar was the coin minted in 1924. There were no standing Liberty dollars. The quarter issued from 1916 to 1930 bears the standing Liberty design, and the half issued from 1916 to 1947 bears the walking Liberty design. No, there is no running Liberty design, LOL!
