When I saw the title "Bond Changes History" in Numismatic News Update that hit my email inbox my curiosity peaked.

You can click on the images of the bond if you'd like to read/see the text up close.

Happy reading.

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.

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.
