I don't quite seen an AU coin here. I am not a barber expert and I am surprised more have not chimed in on this. What I do see are some surface issues in the form of carbon spotting that would land this as an environmental problem category.
The wear on the coin suggests a possible EF grading but with some dollars taken off FMV due to the surface issues.
Remember with our hobby, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you're happy with it than so be it. At some point, and with the experience of handling more coins, you may switch over to problem free ownership in lower grades versus problem coins in a higher/less wear presentation. It will come to you with time.
