This came out of an electric toothbrush base. What's the round thing the wire is wrapped around?

Does it have value beyond going in my mixed metal bin?

Yes it will go as iron. Also if you take a small hammer or and thing solid and tap it will break.....that's the easiest and quickest way I have found to get the wire off of it.

That's iron powder compressed together. The wire is worth more.

And the wire could be stripped to be #2 copper or left as is and sold as insulated copper wire?

Yep, you could strip it as No. 2 copper, or sell it as is without the ferrite ring as insulated no. 2 copper.
