I found on from around 1957 cost of £1. I checked with NS&I and it had never won anything. I actually cashed it in as I wanted to max out my bonds to £50K and I couldn't do that with the lone £1!

You could have purchased £49,999, or whatever you actually needed, you are not limited to round numbers when topping up to the max.  My final top up was £944.

I did the same when topping up to the max, NS&I presented the exact remaining figure (as I had a few odd £s of bonds from when I was born that I wanted to keep).

£200 this month on max.  Running just under 4% for calendar year.

Duh I thought they were £25 each! Regretting selling it now - never mind, it didn't come up in 66 years.

Same here for me. I had to sell some to pay off an unexpected bill and found the only way you could stipulate which bond numbers to sell was via a form by post. Online it goes for the earliest first. So I lost my ones brought on my birth. Still like you they had never won anything. And I still have the paper bonds as a keepsake!
