Happy reading. -MV Report this Post to the Staff

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 09/05/2015 10:04 pm Albion Cox's bond was likely negotiated under the table, to convince him to return from England, as his partners in the New Jersey Coppers venture were had a standing suit against him.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 09/06/2015 02:07 am Except he had returned by 1793 and apparently his bond was apparently still not posted until sometime in late 1794. I also believe the bond was still set at $10,000 when he first begin working at the mint and then was later reduced to $5,000. If the bond bond requirement had been negotiated before he returned from England why would the amount have to be reduced and why would it have not been posted earlier? The mint was ready to coins silver by early 1794 but were unable to until the bonds were posted. So his bond was posted after he returned and it should be in the records someplace hopefully.
