Delighted to have bought this slabbed 1806 copper proof - KP31, Peck 1327. It didn't sell at the recent LCA, so got it post auction at the lower reserve amount. Originally Lot No 1803.
Give it a couple of months Pete and with more to choose from off dealers lists / websites and at shows the prices will come back down...........Hopefully 😂

He's got 51 negatives, some of which also allude to fakes.
Many of the negatives, somewhat curiously, have no comment at all. Not sure what that's all about.
