  The submitted article says 4.76 instead of 4.1. Doesn’t change anything, but at least one of those sources is wrong.

    > Though Christie’s in Manhattan set the estimated haul for James D. Watson’s prize between $2.5 and $3.5 million, an anonymous bidder bought it for $4.1 million, the New York Times reports. The total rose to $4.76 million due to the buyer’s premium, which goes to the auction house. https://time.com/3619174/james-watson-nobel-prize-medal-auction/ https://time.com/3619174/james-watson-nobel-prize-medal-auct...
