Hey Gunman,
The 1889 argentinian Dos "meaning 2" centavos was never struck in silver. No denomination this low was ever struck in silver that I know of. Take it to someone who can test it, If it is truely silver then I say you have something that is very rare and quite possibly valuable. I doubt that a 2 centavos piece the size of a half dollar was struck in silver. The size and denomination does not match the content.. Verify that it is silver and then take it to a coin dealer and ask. If he offers to buy it you know its worth something, but dont sell it.

Great find BTW.
