My mother gave me a $25 WWII war bond that her mother had purchased in 1944. It is still in it's original sleeve from the bank where she purchased it.
I checked eBay and didn't find a single WWII war bond for sale. Plenty of posters, etc. - but no WWII war bonds.
Anyone out there have any idea what the bond would be worth to a collector?
The bank told my mother what it would be worth just from compounded interest, etc.
It is an interesting piece of history. My grandmother purchased the war bond for her son. He was shot down and killed over the English Channel a few months later.
