I don't know, I guess scrap value for lead? Here's a pic of lead I think is pure.

The average price for lead when I buy it here in the swap and sell section typically goes for $1 per LB + shipping. First time it wsa in sheets that I had to melt down put the seller packaged up a couple of extra pounds so when I got done I got an even 50lbs. Second time I bought from a different person it was in ingot form.
