But if you plate a layer of pure nickel onto a copper coin, a magnet sure will pick it up. And it will look silvery. I&#039;ve done it with my own home chemistry set. (Okay, I did order some nickel sulfate that wasn&#039;t originally supplied with the set, but it came from the same supplier.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
