Pre-82 canadian nickels are pure .999 nickel. I have a few rolls of them from circulation, but I bet building a relationship with local coin shops or ebay can get you a pretty steady supply

You may consider stockpiling old jet turbine blades. They are usually made from a nickel-based superalloy. Mixed with chromium, cobalt and rhenium. However, I don't know what the percentage of nickel is. Nor if it is possible to separate it from the alloy metals.
