Does a silver coin weigh more than a copper coin?

There's no specific relationship between them. Silver and copper were used for different denominations of coins so the amount of metal in them depended on the coins' denominations and the relative prices of the metals.For example, a bronze Lincoln cent (95% copper) weighed 3.11 gm but a silver Mercury dime (90% silver) weighed 2.5 gm. On the other hand a 90% silver dollar weighed about 26.7 gm.If you're referring to US coins of the same denomination, the answer is that the older silver coins weighed very slightly more than their clad counterparts. The two varieties are the same diameter and thickness so they're compatible in vending, counting, and sorting machines but silver, which made up 90% of a US coin's weight, is slightly denser than copper which currently makes up about 92%. Therefore a clad coin of the same dimensions will be slightly lighter.
