Treasury notes: Lower vs. higher coupons

Post by boringinvestor »

Hi, I'm interested in purchasing some treasury notes for liability matching.

In Vanguard's interface I get the option of either buying a note at a discount from $100, OR closer to $100 but with a higher coupon rate.

Can anyone tell me what the pros/cons of each option would be? I'm in a high tax bracket and a high tax state, but anticipate my bracket to be lower in 1-2 years (looking at 2YR treasuries).

Thanks!
