High polished Nickel is awesome when used correctly. If you have a minimalistic type of design, than this is going to be great for you. It out shines all the others hands down but can make small type difficult to read straight on because this will reflect heavily. This is standard plating that we do here at USCC.com. It’s not silver remember it’s a Nickel plating. Some people are easily fooled because the term High Polished Silver is thrown around so easily.

Pros:

• Beautiful for 99% of designs

Overall you can’t go to wrong with this plating and is becoming more and more popular as time passes.
