Nickel Plating

I plate a Typical US penny (copper) and give it a thin shiny layer of nickel. This Plating is a very good nice looking and durible covering.
Hope you like it!!

One question and one suggestion.

- Question, what is the solution? Salt and vinegar?

- Suggestion: Make a little basket instead of a clip to hold the pennies, and every minute move it a little, so then you won't have marks on them.

Yes the solution is Vinegar and very little salt. Keep in mind that this video was taken when I first started with my plating experimentation, currently I do have baskets and holders for objects being plated. Thanks for the suggestion

i actually tried the same thing except i connected a nickel to positive and a penny to negative. the penny was somewhat coated with nickel but it was not as shiny as yours. my finished penny was kind of silvery-copper colored. What solution did you use to plate the penny in nickel?
