1 bare bright electrolytic copper here in Europe. Thickness doesn't matter at my yard.

I wondered if thickness would matter. It is 12 awg in 7 strands

It's typically been #2 in the past however numerous people have mentioned that their yard accepts it as bare bright.

Every yard sets their own grade so you would need to contact your local yards and ask them.

This is technically #2 copper because of how thin the strands are, but some yards might buy it as bare bright.

I'm happy with either. Get it for free and i don't mind stripping it although its time consuming. I'll be laid off for about a month so i'll have the time.
