A 1958 Series E savings bond is worth $183.12 to $189.34 per $25 of face value (the amount printed on the bond) in November 2026, by issue month.
A $100 bond is worth $732.48 to $757.36, and a $10,000 bond $73,248.00 to $75,736.00. Each is worth 9.77 to 10.10 times its price of 75% of face.
Every 1958 bond stopped earning interest in 1998, so these values are final. Treasury's calculator accepts 7 face values for every 1958 issue month, and the free Value Files price each one. The letter on the bond is E, never EE.

Note: face values issued in 1958 are $25, $50, $100, $200, $500, $1,000 and $10,000, in every month (TreasuryDirect calculator windows). Prices are 75% of face (31 CFR 316.2(b)).

A 1958 Savings Bond Is Series E, Never Series EE
A 1958 savings bond sold at 75% of face is Series E, never Series EE. Series EE began in January 1980, and Series E issue dates run from May 1941 to June 1980. The only other 1958 series was Series H. Check the letter on your bond, and see how Series EE savings bonds differ.
Why Every 1958 Bond Stopped Earning Interest in 1998
Every 1958 Series E bond reached final maturity (the date interest stops) between January 1 and December 1, 1998, 40 years after its issue month (31 CFR 316.8(b)). Four facts apply.
- Issue: January to December 1958, at 75% of face
- Maturity group: issues February 1957 to May 1959, final maturity February 1997 to May 1999
- Life: 40 years, the rule for issues May 1941 to November 1965
- Final maturity: the 1st of the issue month, January 1 to December 1, 1998
The value has not changed since 1998. The 30-year life applies only to E bonds issued from December 1965; see when savings bonds mature and stop earning interest.
The Five 1958 Value Groups, and Why 1957 Bonds Are Worth More
A 1958 bond's value depends on its issue month: Treasury's value file prices the 12 months in five groups. A $100 bond gains $24.88 from January to December. Table 2 lists the groups. Values can fall: July 1958 is worth $186.72 per $25 and August $186.71, so a $100 bond goes from $746.88 to $746.84.
Every January to November 1957 issue ($199.56 to $205.08 per $25) is worth more than every 1958 issue, while December 1957 ($180.97) is worth less than every 1958 issue. January to May 1959 ($191.53) is worth more than December 1958, and June to December 1959 ($186.01 to $188.50) less.

| January 1959 | 1 | $191.53 | $766.12 | Jan 1, 1999 | 1959 Series E savings bond value |
Note: November 1957 shares its value with August to October 1957; January 1959 shares its value with February to May 1959. The one-cent step from July to August 1958 is in Treasury's file.

What a 1958 Bond Cost and How It Grew for 40 Years
A 1958 Series E bond cost 75% of face: $18.75 for a $25 bond, $75 for a $100 bond and $7,500 for a $10,000 bond (31 CFR 316.2(b)). Treasury pays the interest only when you cash the bond (31 CFR 315.30), so a $100 bond carries $657.48 to $682.36 of interest.
December 1958 is the only 1958 month worth more than 10 times its price: $189.34 against $18.75, where 10 times is $187.50. A $100 bond from 1958 cost $75, not $50, because half-price pricing belongs to paper Series EE.
Which Face Values Were Issued in 1958: Seven, From $25 to $10,000
Treasury's calculator prices 1958 Series E bonds in 7 face values, all valid for every 1958 issue month: $25, $50, $100, $200, $500, $1,000 and $10,000.
- $25: $18.75 ($183.12 to $189.34)
- $50: $37.50 ($366.24 to $378.68)
- $100: $75 ($732.48 to $757.36)
- $200: $150 ($1,464.96 to $1,514.72)
- $500: $375 ($3,662.40 to $3,786.80)
- $1,000: $750 ($7,324.80 to $7,573.60)
- $10,000: $7,500 ($73,248.00 to $75,736.00)
The $10,000 bond is valid from May 1952 (TreasuryDirect calculator). The calculator prices the $10 bond only through March 1950 and the $75 bond only from May 1964, so neither has a 1958 date.
Which Savings Bonds Were Sold in 1958: Series E and Series H
A savings bond bought in 1958 is one of 2 series: Series E (75% of face, interest added) or Series H (face value, interest paid every six months).
A 1958 Series H bond stopped earning 30 years after issue, in 1988 (31 CFR 332.8; the year is our calculation). It is paid at face, by mail with FS Form 1522.
Series J and K sales ended in April 1957 and Series F and G in April 1952, so no 1958 bond is F, G, J or K.
Table 3: Savings bonds sold in 1958: Series E and Series H
| Attribute | Series E | Series H savings bonds |
|---|---|---|
| Price | 75% of face | face value |
| Face values | $25 to $10,000 (Table 1) | $500, $1,000, $5,000, $10,000 |

How to Find the Exact Value of Your 1958 Savings Bond
Treasury prices a 1958 Series E bond by its issue month and face value; the serial number and the name printed on it do not change the value. Our savings bond calculator, built on Treasury's published value files, prices paper Series E bonds.
- Check that the bond says Series E.
- Read the issue date on a paper savings bond: month and year, upper right, below the series.
- Ignore the validation date, lower right.
- Read the face value.
- Find the row and column in Table 1, and for July and August 1958 check the month, because the values differ by one cent per $25.
TreasuryDirect's free calculator marks Series E bonds "MA" (matured). A 1958 bond need not show a Social Security number; one is required on bonds issued from January 1, 1974 (31 CFR 316.2(c)(1)). Treasury's calculator and the Value Files give the same figure for the same month.
Cashing a 1958 Savings Bond and Reporting Its Interest
A 1958 Series E bond is cashed at a financial institution that cashes savings bonds or by mail with FS Form 1522, and Treasury charges no fee. Read how to cash savings bonds by each route.
Banks may cash paper bonds but need not (FS Publication 0022, Rev. October 2022), and may not charge you (31 CFR 321.23(c)). You write your Social Security number on the bond (31 CFR 315.39(a)), and a beneficiary brings the certified death certificate.
The mail route uses FS Form 1522 (Revised April 2026; PDF, TreasuryDirect), mailed with the bond to Treasury Retail Securities Services, P.O. Box 9150, Minneapolis, MN 55480-9150. Treasury says 3 months or longer in your name, 5 months or longer if not (November 11, 2026). You can cash by mail with FS Form 1522.
A request of $1,000 or less in total needs no signature certification: sign and enclose a copy of your ID, as for one December 1958 $100 bond ($757.36) or five December $25 bonds ($946.70).
Above $1,000 a notary or certifying officer must certify your signature, as for two January $100 bonds ($1,464.96) or any $200 bond.
Tax Year 1998: When Interest on a 1958 Bond Was Reportable
Interest on a 1958 bond that was never cashed became reportable for tax year 1998, the year of its final maturity, unless reported earlier (31 CFR 316.9; 26 U.S.C. 454; IRS Publication 550).
The interest is $657.48 to $682.36 per $100 bond, federal only; state and local tax do not apply (31 CFR 316.9(a)). These figures are the Table 1 value minus the $75 price. Ask a tax professional about a missed year, and see the federal tax on savings bond interest.
Lost, Found or Inherited 1958 Bonds
Five situations change what an owner or heir does with a 1958 bond: lost, inherited, inherited with unreported interest, found, or held in Treasury records only.
Table 4: Lost, found or inherited 1958 bonds
| Situation | Rule for a 1958 bond | Link |
|---|---|---|
| Lost, stolen or destroyed | Claim on FS Form 1048 (Revised March 2026). Claims 6 years or more after final maturity need the serial number (31 CFR 315.29(c)); for 1958 bonds that is December 2004 at the latest (our calculation). Treasury's 2024 Report to Congress (March 11, 2025) said its records are digitized from October 1957 onward, which covers 1958 issues. Treasury Hunt has been unavailable since September 30, 2025. | FS Form 1048 claim for lost, stolen or destroyed savings bonds |
| Owner has died | The surviving "OR" co-owner or the P.O.D. (payable-on-death) beneficiary takes the bond, otherwise the estate (31 CFR 315.70). | savings bonds after death |
| Inherited, interest never reported | If the owner died before the bond's final maturity, interest earned before death is income in respect of a decedent unless reported on the owner's final return. If the owner was alive at final maturity, the interest was reportable for that year (26 CFR 1.454-1(a)(1); IRS Publication 550). | taxes on inherited savings bonds |
| Found among papers | The value comes from Table 1. Check the owner name, co-owner and beneficiary before cashing. | found old savings bonds |
| Held in Treasury records, not in hand | For a bond over 3 years past final maturity, Treasury may share the owner's name and address with a State that has an information-sharing agreement (31 U.S.C. 3105(f); 31 CFR 323.11(b)); none is publicly known as of November 11, 2026 (89 FR 102735, December 18, 2024). | unclaimed savings bonds |
