Factory nickel M58s are scarce so they are worth a premium. Only about 20,000 M58s were made and of those only about 10% were nickel finished at the factory.

It may be worth it to get yours lettered (cost = $75) as that would verify how it left the factory. A side benefit would be that the letter would tell you when it shipped from S&W and where it went.
