Description:

Liberty bonds were first utilized during the first World War to support the allied cause in World War I. Subscribing to the bonds became a symbol of patriotic duty in the United States and introduced the idea of financial securities to many citizens for the first time. This allowed private citizens to purchase a bond to help support the military effort. After the war, the bond could be redeemed for its purchase price plus interest. A Liberty bond will have a maturation date somewhere on the front on the bond. A maturation date is the earliest someone can redeem the value plus interest. Liberty Bonds from WWI do not continue to earn interest. The redemption value is usually the face value of the bond plus any unused coupons attached to the bond.You can call your bank to find out the redemption value and/or you can call 703-787-3552 to find out what someone would buy it for as a collectible.
