Nice coin, Randy. I would call it borderline circam but I am not the arbiter of such things.
I downloaded the photos and then loaded them into my photo post-processing software, Photoscape X. But you can use whatever software you happen...
Oh boy, are there ever! Liberty Seated coinage was minted from 1836, if you include Gobrecht dollars, through 1891 and at four mints:...

No choice when it's the only one you have.
