[1848] Add minimum price information to the private certificates

[slapphappyjazz]

In the 1848 auction, it would be helpful to see the minimum price for each private.
I think this would be more useful than the supposed face value, which is of no real consequence.

Not sure I understand, (face) Value is the starting bid, Price is the current price after discounts, and the minimum price is always zero

Perhaps we could hide Value after the initial discount since it's no longer relevant after that point?

We re-use the logic from other games w/ discounts like 46 where value and discounted price are shown

The range of 1..X is what a corp can buy the private in for The current wording doesn't make that clear, IMO

The minimum price is not zero. The auction chart has a minimum. Check out the physical game.

As Scott commented, the minimum price is not zero. This is coded correctly, you can't drop below this price, but the minimum price for each private isn't visible to the online players.

Ah perhaps we change the left Value -> Price, have that decrement, and add Min Price to the center

I didn't notice those minimums when I read thru / zoomed in on the '48 chart in the rules
