Is that right..thanks for ur input. Someone else on a site said collectors may get them I dont know...but thanks anyway
bond from the 70's-80's really don't have any collector value. there were so many purchased and distributed back then. it use to be a common gift given to babies or children to hold onto for the future. if these were from the early 20th century than they can be valuable to certain collectors.
That is like saying paper money from the 1970s and 1980s really does not have any collector value because so many were made back then. If it is not your market, then do not answer because it is not helpful. There are collectors of US savings bonds, even modern EE, H and I bonds. The collector value for bonds is going to depend on condition, series, imprint, denomination and issuing agent. Post pictures and I will see what I can tell you.
i don't really think you can compare the 2 at all. first off currency has a face value to anyone. bonds are only good for use by the original owner or custodian of the bond(as far as redeeming). plus the collector base of bond collectors is probably 1/20th if not less that paper currency collectors. i use to work at a bank and had redeemed thousands of bonds and unless they were very high denomination and had some age to them they didn't always pay out that much. so i can't see someone paying much for a bond that is 20-30 years old when it didn't even pay out much to the original owner. i am sure that certain bonds are more collectible than others.
Then you miss the point. You said they were not collectible and had no value as collectibles. Both of these are untrue. Giving that advice does a disservice because it is inaccurate.
Urban - I concur with Lettow that you have opined bad advice to the OP. Even if they have no redemption value they do have a certain collectable value. Now it may indeed be nominal, but it is certainly greater than naught.
