A seller contracts to sell some rare coins to a collector for $$10,000,$ to be delivered two $(2)$ months after the date of the contract. On the date that delivery is due, the coins are worth $$12,000$ and the seller refuses to deliver. The collector acquires similar coins the following week for $$13,000,$ the best price he could find. What can the collector recover from the seller?
