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.

Technically a Peace dollar is a Liberty dollar because all silver dollars minted up till 1935 carried a picture of Miss Liberty, but not all Liberty dollars are Peace dollars - only those made with the specific PEACE design from late 1921 to 1935 are Peace dollars. Normally each type of silver dollar is given a more specific name based on its design, e.g. "Seated Liberty", "Flowing Hair", or Morgan or Gobrecht for the artists who designed them.

No, there is no running Liberty design, LOL!
