    Finally managed to get a decent grade 1856 OT. Obviously not the absolute apex, but orders of magnitude better than the one I've got. I'd say toned EF/NEF. No issues. This is lot 401 from the recent Baldwin's auction. Was chased all the way for it as well. Baldwins refer to "intermittent lustre", but I can't see any lustre at all.
