    Nickel coated brass

    What is the normal rate for this? I just had sourced some, and I'd like to be prepared when I go to the yard. Don't want to get ripped off.

    What is it? If you don't have pics, can you at least give an idea of what it is and where it came from?

    If its like faucets it should go as yellow brass. I have never been downgraded on any brass that has nickel plating.
