In order to determine the value of the bond in question, it is necessary to provide both the issue date and the denomination of the savings bond. For example, a Series E savings bond issued in 06/1980 with a denomination of $100 would be worth $447.00 as of July 2013. In this example, the E Bond reached maturity after 30 years and no longer accrues interest.
About 17 to 20 years, depending on what series it is. The years I've listed above are for series EE.
The savings bond is worth $72.00 as of July 2013.

Savings bonds are sold in different denominations (also known as face value). The purchase price (also known as the issue price) of a savings bond is half of the face value. An EE savings bond purchased twenty years ago in December 1993 for $250 with a face value of $500 is currently worth $536.00. The current value of the bond is based on the original issue price of $250 plus $286 in accrued interest. EE savings bonds issued in 1993 have a final maturity date of 30 years and pay a fixed rate of 4.0%. A savings bond purchased in December 1993 would have a final maturity date of December 2023. The tax liability for interest on a savings bond can be deferred until the bond is cashed in. The exact details on any particular savings bond can be found by going to the official government website . In order to obtain information on a savings bond, you must enter the bond series, the denomination, the bond serial number and the issue date.
A Series EE savings bond with a denomination of $100 and purchased in June 1999 would currently be valued at $77.72. Since the issue price is $50 for a $100 denomination savings bond, the purchaser of a bond in 1999 has accumulated $27.72 in interest. The interest rate on EE bonds issued in 1999 is variable and based on the yield of 5-year treasury securities. The current rate for a savings bond purchased in 1999 is only 0.63%. An interesting feature of the E Series savings bonds purchased in 1999 is that the government guarantees that the bond will be worth its face value at 17 years. For the example discussed above, the savings bond purchased for $50 in 1999 would be worth at least $100 in 2016.
