My guess is the coating is Tin. Most places will buy it as #2 copper
There was a wires processor on here that has since dissappeared. He claimed that it was actually worth a few cents more per lb than #1, but only with multiple tons and good connections.
1956, I'm a little confused. Bright and shiny or bare bright is supposed to be copper color, this wire has an obvious coating. Also, isn't there supposed to be no tarnish, and few dull spots?
