APRIL ISSUE COLONIAL NEWSLETTER

  Editor Gary Trudgen sends this note about the current issue
  of  The Colonial Newsletter:

  "The April 2002 issue of The Colonial Newsletter (CNL)
  has been published.  It features a paper by Dr. Louis Jordan
  on John Hull's Massachusetts Mint.  Lou has greatly
  broadened our understanding of this historic coinage by
  investigating the technical operations of the mint which he
  gleaned from an extant ledger of mintmaster John Hull and
  also by studying the political and economic factors that
  influenced the operation of the mint.

  Lou's complete research on the Massachusetts Mint will be
  published in a book by C4 (Colonial Coin Collectors Club)
  later this year.  Also included in this issue are reports by
  John Kleeberg on Peter Rosa's colonial coin replicas and
  Brian J. Danforth on a newly discovered reeded edge
  Wood's Hibernia halfpenny. An Ask the Editors piece on the
  August 30, 1787 Albany newspaper article titled "Beware
  of Counterfeits" completes the issue.

  The Colonial Newsletter (CNL) is a research journal
  dedicated to the study of early American numismatics.
