Made a semi lowball offer and it was accepted on this one. Looks to me to have vf sharpness.

Excellent, jerryc! The 1839 Booby Head Large Cent has a special place in my heart - it was the first coin I bought from a catalog. Back when I was 10 or probably younger (so 1972 or before), I saw a listing for one of these in one of those big ads in Coin Week or some such similar newspaper-like periodical. I ordered in sight-unseen simply because of the name. And yes, I still have it.
As for the grade, I'll wait until you have it in hand and post your own photos. But I approve of your purchase based on these pics.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

VF sounds right. Could grade better, but we'll wait until you get the coin in hand. Nice purchase!
