<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 99411, member: 669&quot;]Take a close look at the picture - there are two, and only two, valid coupons (dated Auigust 15, 2001 and February 15, 2002), and they are worth $38,125 each.&nbsp;&nbsp; That means the total face value is $1,076,250, so at a final price of $1,063,750, including his 15% premium, the buyer got a very small bargain - about 1%. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>On the other hand, the seller tanked.&nbsp; Besides the loss of profits from not investing his money for 3 years, 9-1/2 months, he gets only $925,000 <i>less his seller commission</i> for a loss of <i>at least</i> $151,250 (14%+). <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know about the rest of you guys, but I could fill a bunch of holes in my gold collection for that much cash. <img src="http://forums.collectors.com/i/expressions/dancing%20smiley.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
