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.

Is the coin quarter magnetic?
Coins made of steel, iron or nickel would normally be magnetic. Exceptions are alloys, where the exact composition determines whether the charges of the atoms align (there are magnetic and non-magnetic variants of stainless steel).During World War II, US pennies were made of zinc-plated steel, and hence were magnetic. US nickels (5 cents) are 75% copper and 25% nickel, and are not magnetic, and neither are the "clad" copper-sandwich coins or the "gold" dollar coins (which are brass).Canadian nickels have been made of magnetic alloys several times, most recently 99% nickel from 1954 to 1981, and coated steel since 2000. From 1982 to 1999, Canada used the same copper-nickel alloy that US nickels are made of.
How can you tell the difference between a silver and a copper-nickel 1776-1976 dollar?
Silver bicentennial dollars were only sold in 3-piece Bicentennial sets along with Washington quarters and Kennedy half dollars. All carry an S mint mark. The coins were made of clad silver comprising outer layers of 80% silver / 20% copper bonded to an inner core with those percentages reversed. The core tends to have a grayish tint to it. Circulation bicentennial dollars were only minted at Philadelphia (no mint mark at that time) and Denver (D). The core is pure copper so it will have either a shiny copper or dark brown color.
Why are silver coins non magnetic?
Silver U.S. coins are made entirely of silver and copper -- neither of which is a magnetic metal. Base metal coins that are magnetic, likely contain some amount of iron -- a magnetic metal, or a high concentration of nickel which is also attracted to a magnet.

Silver is not magnetic because it is a non-ferrous metal. Non-ferrous metals, like silver, do not contain iron and therefore do not have magnetic properties. Consequently, silver coins will not be attracted to a magnet.
How many grams silver american dollar?

What years were non silver dollars issued?

Yes, you can use a magnet to test silver coins. Silver is not magnetic, so if a silver coin is attracted to the magnet, it is likely not pure silver. However, keep in mind that some silver coins may have small amounts of other metals added for durability, which may cause a slight magnetic attraction.
