Photos won't hurt.

You could also ask on I forge Iron, they are a living anvil database



I've seen 2$ to $5 per pound, but it seems to depend on condition, brand, size, geography and how bad you want it.

Actually weighing it helps, you can easily misjudge by 50 or 100 pounds.

Pics or more info on maker are necessary.

Oops, you posted as I was typing.

Bring a small hammer or ball bearing to check the rebound. If the return is good, it should be worth that. Can't identify the maker from that pic.

It's funny that the bigger the "USA", the more likely something is CCC
