Doty, Curator of the National Numismatic&nbsp; Collection at the National Museum of American History of the&nbsp; Smithsonian Institution, passed away at 7:50pm last night.</p><p><br /></p><p>An official announcement and appreciation will be forthcoming from the Smithsonian.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Dr. Doty was a numismatic researcher in every sense of the word and the author of many books and articles. My particular favorite is &quot;The Soho Mint and the Industrialization of Money&quot; dealing with Boulton, Watt, Conder tokens, and steam power etc. The volume sits right next to my George Selgin &quot;Good Money&quot; and my Dalton &amp; Hamer reference on Conder tokens. Dr. Doty was also a really, really nice, kind, and helpful person who was generous with his time and resources. Numismatics is the poorer today for his loss.</p><p><br /></p><p>Condolences go out to his family and the many friends who mourn his loss.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
