This has a nice strike from what I've seen of other coins. Not sure of the value, but it seems like these are south of $150 for the most part. There are no holes or breaks and it seems pretty centered on the planchet. Is it worth adding to my "get graded" pile?

Not sure this belongs in the US classic coin grading section, but my initial observation is that it looks more like a Christmas cookie mold than a coin.

Nice coin! I've added a couple of bracteates to my collection in the last year, and have looked at a couple from Swiss cantons but never pulled the trigger.

This one in comparable condition sold at a Kunker auction in 2019 for 125 euros

I'm pre-disposed against slabbing medieval coins, but bracteates and other "3-dimensional" coins actually pose a problem for storing in 2 x 2s. Certainly the value of the coin doesn't meet the threshold that's usually discussed out here, but you may have other reasons.

And yeah, kinda looks like two candy canes and a gingerbread house
