Construction Costs- (Continued from Page 24) Chart B illustrates the range of actual golf course con-struction costs (rounded to the nearest $100,000) for an upscale project, along with the median and the mean. The chart demonstrates a wide range in costs from a low of $3,900,000 to a high of $16,100,000.olf course construction includes grading and site preparation costs, and grow-in (also known as maturation). As an example, assume that the total project costs are $14 million, based on typical ratios, approx- 25% to 30% Buildings & Equip.
Production at a loss â As of 2013, it costs about 1.8 cents to mint a penny. In 2007, the price of the raw materials from which it was made exceeded the face value, so there was a risk that coins were illegally melted down for raw materials.
They were most likely made by accident when copper blanks remained in the press as production began on the new steel pennies. In 2008, Steve Contursi sold a 1943-S authenticated copper wheat penny for more than $100,000 to a private collector. Contursi had bought the coin only a week earlier for about $72,000. Nice profit. How to spot it: The easiest way to determine if your 1943 cent is copper (and valuable) is to test it with a magnet. If it sticks to the magnet, it is a steel penny, and not valuable (but still pretty nifty).
