I was supposed to go fishing today but the tuna count dropped off dramatically so we canceled the trip.
I normally spend about 100 bucks on a fishing trip but did not today as was allotted.
I saw a BIN this AM an offered $100 off the BIN price and it was accepted. If I was at sea, I would not have won this coin as it surely would have sold this AM.
By not spending money on the fishing trip, and buying a coin at discount, did I actually get $200 off the price of the coin ???

I'm going to go get a haircut & shave so are coins costing more for me today?
So you got a nice coin, missed the fun of fishing..... sounds like a fair trade though.... Cheers, RickO
proooove it- show the coin~!

An ironclad policy of mine, Never show an image a coin that is not in hand, never!
No, you spent the same $100 you would have spent fishing. What you did is trade a fish for a coin.
That crazy new math. I spent $100. Double it, but a minus sign in front of it and I've saved $200!!!
I want to be a millionaire, all I've got to do is spend half a million!
I need a credit line...
Much better than spending Two million to become a millionaire
We do have some occupational hazards. Ebay being one.

I can prove that I saved money as I am home and here's a photo of the savings ...
Very Odd sidenote: .......... I always fix my cell phone photos in Photoshop to make the image better, as in this case, taking out the blue/cyan cast.
Photoshop would not allow me to open this image as there is US Currency in the photo!!!!
Anti-counterfeiting measure for sure.
Which begs the question from the currency guys, how do you process your images in Photoshop if you even can???
That might only prove that you used to have $200.
If I did not go fishing this summer, I would have a hellava lot more than $200.
A shave and a hair cut are two bits.
If you eschew the haircut and shave and buy a coin instead, you get double the money!
I kid myself all the time with this sort of logic.
If I lay low on a Saturday night, that justifies a little ebay bidding. Instead of spending the money on food and drink that will soon be forgotten, I can add something to one of my collections that will retain value and that I will have for years to come. I am making money.
It almost makes perfect sense.

Adobe® Photoshop® software includes a counterfeit deterrence system (CDS) that prevents the use of the product to illegally duplicate banknotes. As implemented, CDS prevents users from opening detailed images of banknotes within Photoshop. The CDS technology was commissioned by the Central Bank Counterfeit Deterrence Group (CBCDG), a consortium of central banks from around the world. Adobe has included CDS in Photoshop at the request of the CBCDG.
Laws regarding the reproduction of currency images vary widely from country to country. In some countries, reproduction is permitted for specific purposes given certain restrictions, but in other countries any form of reproduction is considered a crime. For complete information about the rules in a given country, please consult CBCDG’s Web site, www.rulesforuse.org. Where applicable, this Web site will also indicate where you can obtain legally reproducible currency images, and who to contact for further questions and information.
