No - they're 90% silver, 10% copper, neither of which have more than a minuscule amount of magnetic properties.

Most real silver dollars, such as Morgan or Peace dollars, do not contain enough magnetic metal to be attracted to a magnet. Silver itself is not magnetic, but if there are other metals mixed in, then a silver dollar could potentially show some magnetic properties.
No, silver dollars are not inherently magnetic because they are primarily made of silver, which is not magnetic. However, if a silver dollar is mixed with other metals that are magnetic, then it could become magnetized.
No. Peace dollar are made of mostly silver so they shouldn't stick to a magnet. If yours does it's a fake. Someone tried to use cheap metals to make one and then sell it for a profit. Don't fall for this!
