JOHN HULL AND THE MASSACHUSETTS MINT 

   According to an announcement by Paul Hybert, "The April 
  11 meeting of the Chicago Coin Club featured Louis E. Jordan 
   speaking about "Recent Discoveries on John Hull and the 
   Massachusetts Mint."  In May of 1652  Massachusetts Bay 
   passed legislating authorizing the coining of silver three pence, 
   six pence and shilling coins and appointed John Hull as mint 
   master.  In some hitherto unpublished ledgers John Hull made 
   several entries concerning the mint.  This new information 
   provides insight on the location of the mint, gives information 
   on various aspects of coin production including the "turn 
   around time" to produce coins from silver, the actual weight 
   of newly minted coins and how mint charges were calculated."
