They do not. No Ike dollar, be it copper-nickel clad or silver, should stick to a magnet. Those metals are not magnetic. (Pure nickel in...
A lot of cents and other coins got plated with silver-colored metal for use in charm bracelets in the 1950s, but those usually will have some...
I think it's less a case of being in bad shape than the fact that it was rather primitively made in the first place.
