Sterling silver is a non-ferrous metal alloy, so a magnet will not stick to it. Many metals, however, are non-ferrous, so just because a magnet doesn't stick to a particular metal doesn't make it sterling silver.

Metals and other magnets are the only objects that are attracted to magnets. However, many metals are NOT attracted to magnets. Copper, stainless steel, brass, gold, silver, zinc, and aluminum are a few metals that are NOT attracted to magnets. The best way to discover if the object will be attracted to a magnet is to introduce it to a magnet.
Are silver dollar coins magnetic?
No genuine silver coin will stick to a magnet. US silver coins are made of an alloy of silver and a small amount of copper, usually 90%/10% and neither of those metals is attracted to a magnet. However genuine 1799 dollars are rare, and it's very possible you have one of the many fakes that have flooded the market in recent years. These could be made of any base metal including those like steel that would be attracted.
