If the neutral isn't broken between you and the panel, the _maximum_

That depends entirely on how well you are (or aren't) grounded. Under
normal
circumstances, there won't be enough current to do any damage. One sweaty
hand
on a grounded junction box, and the other sweaty hand touching an active
neutral, though...

and you might have 5% as much conductivity as the neutral and see 6v. Not
likely but possible.
Harmless, but possible. Stupid, but possible. Doug, but absurd. Oh, that
is redundant.
