can be for sure

That is what I was wondering, do my photos show anything of concern for the many experts we have on the forum?

Personally I have no idea with American coins but if you can be sure it's gold, why worry, it's bullion.

Not an expert but in my opinion these could be normal marks from circulation (pitting looks more like unsharp lunar craters, these marks are sharp). You should weigh and measure the coin. Some Chinese forgers age and wear coins artificially and some of the pitting here does look to pointed to be from other coins. Also the rim has some "mount marks" although in the wrong positions. 

If you paid bullion prices and weight and measurements are correct, I wouldn't worry. 

Some can even be factory made: mine has a belly button

Did my own grading send as my local ngc was doing a discount campaign. They know me well and threw in the ngc box as a kindness. All the 2017 sov proofs and ms dpl came out well along with some other Aussie and Canadian bits. The 2015s look great side by side as they have two different portraits in the same year on a proof, so a nice pair, as the vicar said to the nurse All have original boxes and coas, of course.
