Whether States may redeem abandoned U.S. savings bonds

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether States that have exercised their historic power to escheat title to abandoned United States savings bonds may redeem those bonds as successor owners, as the Third Circuit has concluded, or whether federal law preempts such redemption, as the Federal Circuit held below. 2. Whether Treasury regulations requiring presentation of a bond serial number may operate as a time bar to prevent a bond owner who has lost that serial number from ever redeeming that bond.
