Sold $227 on eBay including shipping.
It sold within a couple hours of listing, so I listed it too cheap. I found out these "Mexican Biker" rings were made from demonetized Mexican coinage 1930s-1950s. They were cheap rings sold to tourists. Today, they are a hot collectible, lots of folks looking for them, though there is very little literature available about them in print or online.
If you missed the first post, dug up in the parking strip of my dad's house near Brickell, Miami, Fl. It made a big screwcap signal.
