Yup, I lost some interest by selling some of the bonds in between interest dates, but it couldn't be avoided if I wanted to sell them all at once. Here were the issue dates of the EE Bonds I sold.
FEB 1991
APR 1991
JUN 1991
AUG 1991
OCT 1991
NOV 1991
SEP 1992
FEB 1994
SEP 1999
I sold them in early Aug so three of the bonds were right on for interest dates. I was thinking about not selling all of them especially those not issued in 1991, but I said piss on it, I will probably forget about them and sold them all. These are the bonds I didn't sell for my kids education that I still had left. The lone Sep 1999 bond was only a $50 bond I got from some promotion like test drive a new car and they give you a free bond and was the only bond not earning 4% interest.
By the way, I calculated the value of the bonds before I went to the bank with this online calculator. It agreed right to the penny with the number the bank came up with.
