That's a huge Cud! A Cud is a die break the extends out from the rim. Definitely worth keeping. Try matching it here: http://cuds-on-coins.com/washington...s-no-date-2/
Also, the missing letters on the reverse (back) are because the die break (cud, or blob of metal) on the obverse (front) of the coin caused there to be weakness of the strike on the reverse (back) of the coin when it was struck.
To check for silver, see if the edge of the coin has a copper ring. If it does, then it is not silver. If it does not, and it is the full silver color, it is silver.
Amazing find and congratulations!
