One equation, two unknowns.  How would you find R at the given
frequency?  We're probably dealing with `high frequency' in terms of
skin effect.

Given that you're dealing with saturation and `high' frequencies, i
don't think you can characterize it by a single number.  So i'm not sure
exactly what you want.  The reactance over some frequency range? 
Harmonic generation?  Current ramp response?  Let me ask: why do you
want this?
