To a metal craftsman, which I'm not, gotta be careful with anvils. Supposed to be able to drop a good hammer from x-heighth onto it, and it should bounce back real well, and exactly how well I'm not sure, but one of the metal guys here would know. I've heard that good anvils go $1+ per pound. I've looked at them, and from what I've seen, I'm guessing that it would be fair to pay that for a good 100lb anvil, which you'll probably find at farm auction, going out of business or machine shop auction, or something of the sort. I've seen new anvils easily topping $1.50 per pound, but being new would be surprised if many or most aren't made in China junk for unsuspecting buyers.
Spend yor money wisely, and see what a metal craftsman, which I'll openly admit that I'm not, has to say. Those guys are experts and use them for a living.
I can say for instance that pound for pound the best log chains I've ever bought are big old ones from some old barn and some old farmer that are still in good shape and he can't use them anymore, for a fraction of the cost of what new cold rolled made in China junk ones cost, are more durable and much safer. You might be able to do the same with an anvil. Good luck.
