If they are named then you need to get them to the holder.

They have the womans fathers name and the kids name on them. The old man bought them for the kids he could cash them.

Possibly if the kids are still minors.

Bonds have a 20 year cycle and a 10 year cycle.

I think the Bond rate is 4% in the second cycle and 3.8 or something in the first.

There are Bond calculators on the internet.

I swear, the moment I read those words the song began to play in my mind...

Me too...
I love that song, which is weird since I usually don't like that funky crap.

I'm looking around in my filing cabinet, I just saw them last month. When I find them I will create a fake name and ask where I should send them to. I'm not using my real name, no freaking way.........I'm already in enough trouble for letting my kid use permanent markers to color his styrofoam airplane. His hands are marked for life.


Tell me that you like it...........

They were bought in 1984 so how much is 23 50.00 savings bonds worth today anyways?

Hey Maggot, last September I found 37 various denomination savings bonds that I had stashed in an envelope, that fell behind my sock drawer. Many were "1980" vintage. Several of the Series E $50 bonds were worth up to $169 each!!! Several $100 bonds worth over $195 each, and I had a couple of $1000 bonds that were worth $1700. So . . . .

They (mine) were good last September. But US bonds S/B cashed in ASAP, but certainly before the US collapses, that is when/if Barry gets re-elected!

Oh, and yes, you have to register to be able to comment on someone's page.

Why don't you just send her a message on your wife's page? Or have her do it for you. That way the old GF doesn't think you are looking to hook up again and your wife won't be mad. I think it's nice that you want to return the bonds and I am sure she will appreciate it.

You shouldn't cash them til the 30 years is up or they won't be worth much more than face value. http://www.treasurydirect.gov/indiv/tool...ndcalc.htm will give you the value with interest.

I'm not worried about me hooking up with her. Its the opposite. It took months to get her to go away.

I knew you didn't want to hook up with her silly. Can you google her and find her address? Then just mail them to her.

Yes, I think getting involved with her again sounds too risky. Just send them to me and I'll contact her on FB and make sure she gets them back.

Have an attorney handle it, should it not cost an arm and a leg. It might be worth spending a little cash though.
