Hey all,

I don't really look for interesting serial numbers, but I found this on a five dollar silver cert. Would this be considered radar even if its not the full serial? Would something like this be desirable for collectors of these types of notes?

I would say no. Radar is spelled R-A-D-A-R not B-R-A-D-A-R...no what I mean?

Some people may call it a seven digit radar. For most, I suspect, it is close but not good enough.

If that serial number started with a zero there are those that would call it a mini-radar. Terms like mini-radar, near solid, trinary, etc. are for part time note collectors. Serious searchers/collectors are irritated by such words

This is one of my notes that I wish had ended in a zero, but as much as I want it to be a radar, alas it is not

Nickelman, If that note ended in a zero it would be BAD ASS.
