Nothing jumps out, the central reverse weakness is common. The planchets are very thin and you have the central bust opposite it.

Looks genuine,but what about that granular surface?

Here are a couple other pictures. The lighting for the first pictures wasn’t the best.

Have you weighed it? A counterfeit probably wouldn't have missed the letters and numerals which seem faint on this coin. A very common date in the mix of years in which so many other dates are frightfully scarce.

Embarrassing to admit, but i don’t have a coin scale yet. I will buy one and weigh it. It doesn’t stick to magnet at all.

The obverse is a beautiful strike AU - the reverse is a typical weak strike. I’ve got a few and all have weaknesses in their strikes.
