Hi there,
From the pictures that you have posted, it appears that the bar could not be nickel but more of lead. I have seen numerous
pictures of metals and actual samples of this kind especially the one with marking--American Smelting and Refining Co with 5 X embossed in the bar (See Attached Pictures). There are those that are nickel based, lead based and zinc based. Sadly though I am of the opinion that many scammers are using the few samples and victimizing unsuspecting people (me included). My more than 2 decades of involvement in TH and in looking for this commodities spanning the entire provinces of visayas and mindanao proved to be an exercise of futility. My conclusion is -- there are no volume stocks or finds of this nickel babbit thing although I can tell you the whole story about how this came to the Philippines as part of the scam of ASARCO to raise the value of their stocks during the 1940's.
I suggest that if you have a real find and the volume is substantial you need to have it assayed in qualified laboratories. If it is Lead, Zinc or Nickel, I will recommend to you serious and real volume buyers from China or Japan which are currently my associates in my mining ventures.
