You Sell Your Bond Before It Matures & Interest Rates have gone down. You buy a 10 year U.S. Treasury Note with a face value of $1,000 and an interest rate of 4.26%. If you sell your bond before it matures and interest rates have dropped 2%, you will receive $1,118.54 (plus any interest paid before the sale).
Treasury notes and bonds are securities that pay a fixed rate of interest every six months until the security matures, which is when Treasury pays the par value.The only difference between them is their length until maturity. Treasury notes mature in more than a year, but not more than 10 years from their issue date.he interest is the difference between the purchase price of the security and what is paid at maturity (or what it sells for if it is sold before it matures). For example, if an investor bought a $10,000, 26-week Treasury bill for $9,750 and held it until maturity, the interest would be $250.
