In order to verify the ability to kinematically reconstruct sharp sum energy peaks arising from internal pair emission from swiftly moving ({Beta} = 0.04-0.12) ions, and to measure the efficiency of the APEX spectrometer for coincident positron-electron pairs emitted from moving high-Z nuclei, the J{sup pi} = 3{sup -} 2647 keV state in {sup 206}Pb was Coulomb excited in the {sup 206}Pb + {sup 206}Pb reaction at 5.9 MeV/u. The state was populated with a cross section of 62 mb per heavy ion and both the dominant 1844 keV El gamma decay and the 4.2 x 10{sup -4} internal pairs (IPC) branch were observed. The questions associated with IPC in high-Z systems and the prospects for future precision measurements will be discussed.
