Are there any dimes that are magnetic without copper from 1998?

No. US dimes have never been made from a magnetic metal - only from silver/copper alloy up to 1964, and copper-nickel clad after that.
However, Canadian dimes have been struck in either nickel or steel since mid-1968 and those metals ARE attracted to a magnet.

Why do new 1p coins stick to a magnet but old ones don't?
No British coin is magnetic. Actually, older (1971-1991) 2p coins are not attracted to a magnet and newer ones are. The reason is that the rising price of copper forced the Royal Mint to change the composition from bronze to copper-plated steel. Many other countries that had low denomination copper or bronze coins also changed their compositions during that same time period or, dispensed with the coin coin altogether.

When did they start making 1 and 2 pence magnetic?
The lowest denominations of current UK coins will be attracted to a magnet. In the UK, copper-plated steel was used for 1 and 2 pence coins beginning in 1992, replacing their bronze predecessors. Steel, being an alloy of iron, can be attracted to a magnet. The 5 and 10 pence coins were changed to nickel-plated steel in 2011. These coins will also display magnetic properties. In 1998, some 1 and 2 pence coins were issued in bronze (not magnetic).
I found a very shiny 1998 P dime that is magnetic and there is no copper middle Was this normal for that year?
Well, are any of the other 1998 dimes in your pocket very shiny* and magnetic? I'm willing to say not. There are at least 2 possibilities: > It's a fantasy piece someone made out of steel or similar metal. In that case it's worth nothing. > It's an off-metal strike that happened when a blank intended for a similar-size foreign coin accidentally got mixed in with normal dime blanks. That's a true mint error and can be worth something. Unfortunately the only way to tell would be to have the coin examined in person by a dealer who handles error coins. (*) That's one 'n', not two. "Shinny" means to climb up something in a wiggling fashion.

What is the value of a 1998 US copper nickel?
Almost certainly 5 cents. US nickels don't have enough copper in them to look copper-colored. Your coin is most likely discolored due to exposure to heat, chemicals, or other contaminants.
