Hi Ray,

Try the Caps lock.

Pure Nickel would be nice, but it's more likely an alloy (that possibly includes Nickel).
Cupronickel, 'white copper' etc. One of the family of 'white metals' used to simulate Silver at lesser cost. Like Alpacca (white copper) is often called 'German Silver'.
If memory serves, pure Nickel is actually magnetic, so that would also suggest that this is an alloy.
