A super radar and a seven in a row. Both are binary, not true binaries, but still binary.
I think you're wrong.
@Danny osborn, you may have a nickel that was struck by a capped die. We need better photos of both sides to be sure.

Doubled die edge?
Don't waste your time and money. That coin is a dog and only worth melt.
Pile up two coins and slam them together as hard as you can with a hammer. You'll see.

Separate names with a comma.
