I'm helping a widow get ready for an estate sale.I got it a good handle on the guns as knives but Tucked away in the corner was a 10 pounds of lead. Consists off slag and malformed 45 LRN.
What is it worth so I can set a reasonable reserve?

Attn:
This not a offer to sell. I seek info only.
 
Here locally the guys are paying $1 a bound for lead with unknown orgin..lead that can be melted and cast will bring $2 a pound. If you have it tested you will know what it is and can double the asking price, but that amount I'd try to sell it for $1 a pound, NO DEPOSIT/NO RETURN.
 
Reclaimed lead shot typically runs about $1-$1.25/lb. Unknown lead would bring less where I live.
 
The grouchy old men at CastBoolits make market for lead at ~$2/lb shipped, $1.50 in quantity no shipping. Ask $10 on Armslist or a yardsale, and it'll go.
