Is this gradeable/slabbable?

Early Italian (5th-4th cent. BC), Aes Rude, 337.25g, an irregular mass (cf. Haeberlin pl.3, 4).
Never seen this before. At 337.25g, it's about 10.5x the mass of a silver crown.

However I'm not sure if it can be graded as to high points, rub, nor if it could be slabbed in a pronged holder.
If mine I'd be far more interested in having a metallurgical composition analysis done then anything else.

Looks like a petrified pile of poo...maybe the TPGs are slabbing those now?
I've glanced at registry sets with worse slabbed crap
invoice and description from Spink should be enough for authenticity , and its free of charge.

Actually, that comment sums up my feelings about these perfectly.
I do not believe NGC will grade them (for perhaps several obvious reasons). I don't think they'll grade the big Aes grave coins, either, though they may issue photocertificates for those?
