Silver dollars from 1794 to 1935 were made of 90% silver and 10% copper, neither of which are attracted to a magnet. Only ferrous metals such as steel and iron, and certain other metals such as nickel are attracted to a magnet.

Are seated Liberty dollars magnetic?
No - they're 90% silver, 10% copper, neither of which have more than a minuscule amount of magnetic properties. If you have a coin that sticks to a magnet it's a counterfeit. The market has been flooded with fakes, some quite good, some laughably bad. Sounds like you have the latter.

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!

But many people mistakenly call newer $1 coins "Liberty dollars" because they either have the word Liberty or a picture of the Statue of Liberty on them. These coins are either copper-nickel or brass, but not silver.

No, there is no running Liberty design, LOL!
