I haven’t seen one but they should be out there. I do love my Nickel 586 6” though.

The only way I know of is to call S&W and ask. On the long shot you get the right person on the phone, they might take the time and effort to find out.
Chief38 is correct. Only S&W would know for certain and that is if they actually kept a record of if and how many 8 3/8" Model 586"s were nickel plated. You also have to get someone who is willing to put in the effort and knows how to find the requested information.

I too have never seen one, and I'm guessing the factory has no way to research if any were made without a lot of effort. The good news is that if one exists, a Forum member probably has it and will post a photo. 
The title of the thread caught my attention because I`ve never seen an 8 3/8" in nickel... My guess is the 8 3/8" are like the 2 1/2" and 3" 586`s in that they were low enough production to begin with that they never bothered to make them in anything but blue.
I did a search on 'google - Smith & Wesson 586 8 3/8" Nickeled' in the images. Came up with nothing, only 'blues' and 686s'.

I saw this 586-7 seven shooter and laid my coins down. Great shooter!

I've never seen an 8 3/8" 586 in nickel. I've owned a couple of 4" and at least one 6", my first "L" frame, but never seen an 8 3/8" nickel.
Just received the definitive word from S&W today. NO
It is odd, because nickel guns and 8” barrels for the 586 were available roughly around the same time period. One would think that at least some were made in that configuration.
