So I have two Morgan dollar fakes, the 1879 one is magnetic and only weighs about 20 grams, while the 1880 one isn’t magnetic and weighs about as much as the real one. Even though it’s a fake, could it still have silver in it, or is it something else?
Did you know that Pluto is still a planet in Illinois and New Mexico and has de facto recognition as a planet in Arizona?
Probably Nickel plated brass, popular with Chinese fakers.
Lighter dollars are likely to be zinc, spelter or pewter.
I have no issue with OP's coins as they are clearly marked copy and no doubt anyone who can not afford a nice real Morgan dollar can pick them up for a song.
I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.

You are probably correct. I didn't look at the pictures close enough to see COPY on them. Highly unlikely real solid silver would be used.
