What if it had been nickel alloy worth $10.00 a lb, there are some simple acid tests you can do using nitric acid, the spot will turn green. This will only confirm that you have nickel not the amount in the alloy. Price varies depending on nickel content.
Pure nickel is currently valued at $9.69 a lb throw in a couple more exotic metals into the alloy the price could even be more.

Beyond this I'm at a loss to make further comment, nickel and her alloys are what I am currently researching.
