I have 16 lbs. ( 1-12# & 1-4# )of what i thought was hard lead, a H5 pencil will not scratch it. On one end of the 12# pc. the word " Nickel " the "N " is stamped backwards , or it is stamped nick ll , rings like a bell. Both pcs. are painted red, like out of a lab ??? Anyone come across lead or metal like this ?
