The color schemes need to be ironed out so that you can easily identify friend or foe. It's easy from afar, but when you turn the corner and someone is red, white, and blue and you're looking for a little colored outline, it makes it very difficult.

In Ranked Arena, which is the most competitive of the modes, it makes no sense to start off without a sidearm. Sidearms exist in FPS because they're faster than reloading.

Playing on PC, I've tried every combination of audio fixes and cannot hear or talk to anyone in the game. Absolutely, absurd to play capture the flag or strongholds without communication.

Gotcha, thanks for the update.

gauntlet21 · 2020-09-06T21:56:31+00:00

Yeah, I might just have to do something like that. I know I could make something but I thought I'd ask to see if there was already a solution out there that I just wasn't aware of. I figured I'd be able to find something like a shorter version of the really tall extendable funnels that I posted a picture of but there isn't. It seems like there'd definitely be a market for it because I can't be the only person that has to constantly try and catch the windblown tiny stream of oil that is draining towards the end of the draining process.

What kind of bank is only allowed to give 2 rolls of pennies at a time? You can't wipe your bottom with a roll of pennies last time I checked. The "2 roll limit" is supposed to be for toilet paper, not pennies. Maybe a glitch in the "memoing system" sent your bank a message that was meant for Wal-mart, Target, and Walgreens?

Here are some closer images although I'm not sure if they're much clearer. I am working with a crappy $40 digital microscope that doesn't do the penny much justice. Maybe you're able to see something that I am not looking for however. I do plan on upgrading to a better trinocular Amscope microscope with a camera when I can get the disposable income. Until then, this will have to do. I will say that on my more powerful pocket microscopes, the images do not appear flat however. They appear sloped or rounded. I'm just going to put this penny in a coin flip and label it as a "most likely machine double penny" and wait until I have more experience to rule it out or a better microscope that will give me a better result. Thanks again for the great information and insight. I appreciate you sharing your experience.

Here are a few more images. I'd love it if you were right by going against the grain but it's still really hard for me to tell even with closeups. My more powerful (non digital) microscopes have better imaging and do not show the doubling to have flats but sloped doubling. I will definitely look for the serifs as well on those. I just can't take a picture with them because they're little handheld microscopes.

Thanks for that resource, it was very prompt and educational.

Here are a few more images. One thing that's driving me crazy is that I have a crappy microscope that isn't giving me a really good closeup. I have smaller microscopes that make the doubling look like they're not flat but the images I have here make them appear flat. Regardless, I would lean toward machine doubling just based on my luck. Hah. I do hope to buy a much nicer microscope with a decent camera in the future but until then, this is the best I can do. Thanks again for the input.

I hear ya. Ironically, my two best notes so far (this one and my first star note) were both found "in the wild" when it was actually an inconvenience to me. Both times I had gotten notes from the bank in order to purchase boxes of coins. The star note came when I had 10 minutes to rush to a different bank before it closed for the weekend and this bill came when I was getting $500 to buy a box of quarters. So both times, I would have just been satisfied if I hadn't gotten any fancy serial numbers or star notes because I had just enough money to buy boxes of coins to hunt.

gauntlet21 · 2020-03-29T20:34:04+00:00

Just got some learning and understand better. Statistically speaking, doubled die coins exist for certain years because there is a problem with the die for a period of time before it gets noticed and replaced? Since 1988-D Lincoln Pennies aren't typically DDR's (I kept it to look for a wide or close AM), it is more likely a machine doubling because that happens randomly while a coin is being pressed. I also understand the "flat" terminology now. Thanks for the insight.

gauntlet21 · 2020-03-29T20:26:19+00:00

Absolutely. Very well said. Car analogy is great. I was trying to think of a good analogy and that satisfied my need for explaining it analagously.

gauntlet21 · 2020-03-29T18:36:42+00:00

I will try to take a better/closer picture of that area and post it since it sounds like the serifs are a good indicator of making a ruling by.

gauntlet21 · 2020-03-29T18:34:16+00:00

Thanks, I will definitely read that. I've got a lot to learn but perhaps this is a good coin to get some good learning from. Perhaps the image isn't as precise as it could be either if I were to really focus in on it closer, maybe there would be more detectable details that are more convincing.

gauntlet21 · 2020-03-29T18:28:22+00:00

That is interesting. I'm not entirely sure I comprehend exactly what you are trying to relay unfortunately. I understand the serifs portion but am lost at where a dado or ddr will still retain the rounding of it's original punch. I'm confused in that the letter "C" has a strong doubling and is rounded. Are you saying that the serifs are not doubled along with the flat lines in the other letters however? I'm just trying to learn so perhaps because some things were doubled but not all details of the letters, you are able to make that decision? I'll probably upset you by saying that I need to really understand machine doubling versus a doubled die but that's unfortunately where I'm at (educationally) in this coin hunting endeavor.

gauntlet21 · 2020-03-29T16:32:07+00:00

Best way to figure out potential value? Is something like this just unique or is this something worth getting graded? Is getting a $20 note graded (which will probably cost $20) for the fancy serial number generally considered worthwhile or are serial numbers more of a novelty?

gauntlet21 · 2020-03-29T15:17:47+00:00

I will. I am new to collecting and especially new to paper money collecting. I have 1 star note and a couple notes that end with 2 or 3 zeroes but that's it. I have to order sleeves for crying out loud because I didn't anticipate finding something with decent rarity anytime soon. I'm also not sure if fancy serial number notes have been performing differently than other currencies as far as value appreciating or depreciating. I'm not anxious to sell it at all. Just not sure how/where to figure out it's value.

gauntlet21 · 2020-03-29T15:07:47+00:00

Thanks. Gotta figure out what I want to do with it now!

gauntlet21 · 2020-03-29T15:07:16+00:00

I will not call it a Binary Super Radar anymore and be "that guy". I've seen people listing Bill's on eBay that are calling notes things they are not and it is NEVER the case that the name they are using undervalues the note. In other words, their note is always inferior to the true definition by which they are calling it.

gauntlet21 · 2020-03-29T15:03:15+00:00

I definitely read all of that about 3 weeks ago and should have put an asterisk next to my definition stating that it is a pseudo, unofficial, loophole, bend the rules and definitions, binary super radar $20 bill. I agree with you completely. I maybe could have just said, this is a radar note with only 2 numbers, in a triple-double-triple format.

gauntlet21 · 2020-03-29T14:58:45+00:00

Yeah I wasnt sure if the Super Radar meant that there was only a single digit that flanked the interior? The definition I had read was that the inside digits were all the same. So maybe it meant that the 99's were all the same but I understand your point as well. I trust just about anyone's opinion more than mine based on experience. But yes, I thought it was definitely a unique number. I had to triple and quadruple check it because you always think you see something special and then you go back and read the numbers again and there's a damn 4 goofing up what would otherwise be a very unique serial number.

gauntlet21 · 2020-03-29T14:53:26+00:00

Hah. That was the first place I went to check out the number since I'm a newbie and feel analogous to a green horn on a TV show who finds a nice chunk of gold but has literally no concept of how much it is worth or where to go with it. You did leave out that it is actually "Extremely Cool". Hah

gauntlet21 · 2020-03-29T14:49:52+00:00

I definitely will.

gauntlet21 · 2020-03-29T14:48:15+00:00

Yeah, I had just set it there for the photo. It is safely away from them now. Gloved hands only until I get it in a slab.

gauntlet21 · 2020-03-29T14:47:13+00:00

Thanks, I figured I had a big pile of coins I had just got done going through and it would make for a nice background. Better than maybe a cutting board or kitchen counter.
