Are Victorian coins of 1898 magnetic?
No. All British coins minted from the dark ages until 1991 were made from non-ferrous metals such as gold, silver, copper, nickel, tin or various alloys of those metals. 1992 saw the introduction by the Royal Mint of the copper plated steel Penny and Two Pence. Steel is an alloy of iron which is a ferrous metal and therefore can be attracted to a magnet. The only two genuine British coins that should stick to a magnet are the post 1991 Penny and Two Pence. The only exception to this is that some bronze Two Pence coins were minted in 1998.

The 2p coin is currently 93% mild-steel and 7% copper.

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).
