Given:
100 stocks of a company bought from secondary market
secondary market price - 15
stock certificate value shows - 10

The value of 10 on the stock certificate is the actual value of the stock. It is known as the par value.

Since you bought it for 15 per share, the seller has an income of 5 per share.

When you sell it at lower than 15 per share, you will experience a loss. When you sell it at a price higher than 15 per share, you will have a gain.
