I think it’s really cool that the nickel plating tarnishes over time and really want to try one ;D What are your experiences with nickel?

I’ve never heard of them not tarnishing. All nickel tarnishes. I think unless it was treated.

Ever seen a shiny 1976 nickel? In gonna guess not, lol. (Granted they are mostly copper)

It’ll always tarnish unless you keep up on polishing it every week or so.
