Default Anvil's

Was picking up some moisture filters for the compressor I rebuilt.
Finally saw the 15 lb cast iron anvil at HF ... they haven't had them in
stock.

Always wanted a place to bang metal w/o ruining my workbench.
So I clean this puppy off and try peening a piece of metal.. I start
seeing the metal's shape appear in the anvil. Looks like the anvil is
too soft.. Then I just hit the anvil with the ball peen and it dents.

Any of you know if this is propper, or too soft???
