  WHATEVER BECAME OF DON TAXAY?
  

  Five important works on North American numismatics were
  written by Don Taxay:
  

  "Counterfeit, Mis-Struck and unofficial U.S. Coins" (1963)
  "The U.S. Mint and Coinage" (1966)
  "An Illustrated History of U.S. Commemorative Coinage" (1967)
  "Money of the American Indians (1970)
  "Scott's Comprehensive Catalogue and Encyclopedia
  of United States Coins (1971)
  

  After this burst of scholarship, Taxay faded from the scene.
  In the Colonial Coins mailing list this week, Ray Williams
  asked "Speaking of Don Taxay, does anyone know whatever
  happened to him? He just disappeared and fell off the edge
  of the earth..."
  

  Various stories and rumors were mentioned, ranging
  from reports that Taxay had moved to India, had a sex
  change operation, lives among the Seminole Indians
  somewhere in the Everglades of Florida, or tends bar or
  dances on stage in Las Vegas. Any, all or none of these
  may be true. While entertaining, perhaps some of our
  readers can shed further light on the subject. When is
  the last time anyone recalls hearing from him? What
  were his plans?
