I agree with Med.
The coin is authentic, now it comes down too what are you looking for? So people look for completeness in inscriptions others look for facial details. Some like big a planchet others are looking for fine reverse details. Some people will except a battered coin and other wait years for the perfect one.
Personally I make concessions based on price, rarity and what make a particular coin desirable and look for a feature that might be missing on most coins of the type. You have reached the point in your journey that you must refine your taste and make the needed concessions to fit your budget and interest. The coin is common enough where you can do this and not have to take the first one you see.
