The E-Sylum: Volume 4, Number 16, April 15, 2001, Article 5 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 In some hitherto unpublished ledgers John Hull made several entries concerning the mint.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."
