I really enjoy the finish on my Markmont Classic and want something like that. Is the nickel plated like that or a raw/polished yoyo?

Depends on the blast used on it before the nickel plating is applied. If a blast is applied to the raw yo-yo before the plating it will have a nice grind feel. If it is polished on not blasted before the plating then it will feel like a raw metal yo-yo.
