High reliefs are almost always available, just costly. (Two years ago at Central States I saw a half dozen at one table.) Even the extremely high...
Watch it bud, I expect they will start sending me those ads in just a couple of years.
Yes Tom Reynolds has a website http://www.earlycoppers.com/ The coins on his website are mostly better pieces, high rarity, and CC coins, but he...
