Is this a silver certificate? Is it valuable?

Short answer: Yes; maybe.
Rest in Peace

A $2 bill with red ink is not a silver certificate. I think it is a legal tender note. Silver certificates had blue ink. And yes it is worth more than $2.00. How much depends on it's condition. Could you scan it and post a picture?

Hold on, red ink is a United States Note, also known as a Legal Tender Note. Silver Certificates are blue, as pyrbob menioned.

I was a little too hasty with my answer; but for sure your note isn't a typical Federal Reserve Note.

Value depends on date and signature combination and condition, of course.

Don't forget about if it's a star note or not. Many red seal $2 star notes are hard to come by, such as the 1928 or 1953 C.
