That doesn't sound like house wire but more like the old heavy cord wire. As far as it being asbestos, it could be but most the time it's cotton.
Is the wire itself have a rubber like insulation on it? I bet it does.

Not likely asbestos, and should be older house wire. Most of the wire we buy like that is a tar, rubber based cloth covering. As for not being shiny most of this wire is tin coated.

What brass buster said.
No, it's not in use anymore.
What year was the house built? My rental house was built in the 1940s and used to have that wire, with the old fuse boxes with the round fuses. If you ran out of fuses you stuck a penny in the fuse socket. Lol
It's going to be #2 copper once you get it all stripped. There is no easy way to strip that stuff.
Money is not the root of all evil, the love of money is.

That is debatable since it is solid core, how clean it is would be the deciding factor.
Unless it is in fact tin coated.
