W.J. Hocking went to London and secured a clerical post at the Royal Mint. In 1908 Hocking travelled to Melbourne Australia on supervise mint business there. His diary of this journey is in the possession of his grandson. In 1917 he was the Assistant Superintendent of the Operative Department. In due course he became the Superintendent of the Royal Mint, Tower Bridge, London. Upon retirement he and his family moved down to Danbury, Essex, where he lived until his death. His work at the Mint - especially during the war years (1914-1918) and the period of depression in the 1920s required great skill in securing the exact alloy balance in the manufacture of coins - resulted in him receiving the honours CBE and on retirement the CVO. A discussion of the manufacture of coins and medals to the Mint's specification is given on Spinks website ()
His research into the history of British coins made him one of the foremost numismatists in his day as well as at the present. He was the librarian and curator of the Mint's collection of British coins. His ''Catalogue of The Coins, Tokens ... Museum Of The Royal Mint'' (2 vols, 1906–10) are referred to frequently at the Royal Mint library in Llantrisant, Wales. His work, ''Simon's Dies In The Royal Mint Museum'', (1909) is also of importance. The proceedings of the Royal Numismatic Society in 1915 give Hocking's research on the collection of coining instruments in the National Museum of Antiquities in Edinburgh see (Article dated May 10 1915 )
