Who is Honeycutt in the proof JFK registry?

Russ

He's sitting there with a fantastic set, weighted GPA of 70.28, 100% DCAM and lacking only four common late-date coins. All he has to do is add them and he knocks all us lesser beings down a spot. Come on, man, get it over with! The suspense is killing me!

Russ;
I keep seeing his name---always the same: a very high rating with a couple common dates missing---typically 2000 and 2001 and some of the 1965 SMS---if he filled these in with relatively common grades he would have the top rated Lincoln (1950-present); 5c (65-preent); 10c (65-present); 25c (65-98); and JFK 50c (he'd probably only hit #2 here). He's equally impressive in the 36-64 coins---missing 2 in the 5c series (again, with relatively available grades could be #1); dimes (100% complete ranks #3); quarters (missing 1936, but has a 69.00 rating on the others!); Franklin halves (has a 70.5 but missing hte 1950).

And for good measure he is tied for the type Ike proof at 69.15; and is missing only the 99-P from having a perfect sets of SBA's.

I think he also is in some of the circulation sets, but not quite as spectacular. This may be the nicest set of 1936-1999 proof coins in all denominations that exists --- if goes and gets a couple of 2000 and 2001 PR69DCAM's, he'd be at or near the top in every modern set!

HMM...I wonder if he just gave up on the registry a couple years ago, or is getting ready to do a mass butt kicking.

Russ,

I know he has been in the Registry since it was only available in print only. So I think your assumption that he just gave up may be correct.

His Jefferson set is fantastic, rivaling Frank Corso's (although side by side, who knows?). I know a few board members have had interactions with him. Someone told me once that he is a very nice older gentleman with a lot of money. Don't know if that is true, but it sounds about right! I believe he is still a collector, but maybe not doing the moderns so much these days. Anyway, he has some great stuff. Kind of relects the artificial superiority of being near the top of some of these sets....I rank higher than him right now, but if he added a couple of super easy dates, he would blow me away...so don't tell me that since my set is complete it is better!
