Radar Nickel Found!

You all are not going to believe this, I can’t hardly believe my luck, myself, I had just got back in my change at my McDonalds drive-up window a genuine radar nickel, a 2002! Can’t picture it for you all at this moment, I’m shaking so hard I can’t hold the camera steady. It looks to be every bit in gem MS65 at the lowest, although I’m not no expert on nickels. Should I submit it for a grade? Also, what’s it worth? Sorry if I may be in the wrong forum on this, I’m just so excited, I never find nothing good!

I'm still waiting for a ladder. I expect it'll be a long wait.

On the other hand, I'm pretty sure I have several flippers tucked away somewhere...

 

Isn’t every nickel that was minted in 2002 a radar?

 

If you got it in change from McD's, it is not an MS-65. There were over 1 BILLION, yes, 1 Billion minted that are ALL radar. It is worth 5 cents and to get it graded, is going to cost you 1000 times what the coin will ever be worth. Was your post just a joke or a legitimate post?

 

It's better than you think. Some radar nickels are rotated 360 degrees.

 

posted in error…removed.

 

McDonald's was the only thing open on the holiday, eh?

 

I've got one, but mine is a 1991!

 

It's spelled "nickle".

 

Lol

 

Yes! Don't you remember? Someone saw you there right after you went to Walmart and the laundromat.

 

I found a radar word in this thread.

 

"radar", y'say?

 

Hell, I'm just excited about someone finding a nice nickel instead of roadkill.

What a refreshing change.

Of course if you have any ambition at all you'll drive back and forth over it and sell it on eBay for $2000.

 

Or you could glue it to your front tire and turn your steering wheel back and with the nickel on your driveway.

Just get it off your tire, no need to even remove all the glue, and sell it as is on eBay.

I think there is more roadkill, counterfeits, fantasies, and altered coins on eBay now than actual coins. Some of the sellers won't even bother to hit common coins with a hammer or pick them up out of parking lots they're so lazy. They just offer nice (VF) 1957-D wheat pennies for $38.

What we call "the economy" has become a joke.

 

Not too many will live to the age of a radar number, 101 years old.
That would be the one and only, unless we got some that Yoda mojo going on.

 

I have a mirror-surface gem PF70 radar coin, but I totally damaged it by fumbling it out of my hands and into a rotating fan blade! :-( The sound it made as it knocked around in the fan proved that it was indeed a radar coin: TATTARRATTAT

Finally it somehow got stuck to just one blade. I left the fan running with the coin stuck to that one blade. So now that RADAR coin is also a ROTATOR.

I plan to sell the fan with the coin still attached on eBay for $99999 . . . OBO
