On June 16 seeded some 2002 saved seed for Dorabel, a yellow bush bean. I also had some purchased Dorabel seed from 2001. Since I wasn't expecting much from them, I planted very thickly. Nothing is showing yet with the 2001 seed, but I think every one of the 2002 seeds came up!
I agree with Randy--if the seed was properly stored you should get reasonable germination. I would plant thickly (what do you have to lose?).
Keep us posted.
