You purchased a $1,000 par value 20-year 4% coupon bond with semi-annual payments for $1,000. Immediately after the purchase, interest rates increased and the yield to maturity and coupon reinvestment rate increased to 6%. (the coupons themselves stayed at 4%) Interest rates and the yield to maturity remain at 6% and you sell the bond 5 years later, having reinvested the coupons at 6%.
