If you believe this is so, then which option do you recommend?

• ignore them?
• offer no opinion, but just tell them to send it to NGC?
• lie to them; tell them it's real and worth Big Bucks?
• lie to them; tell them it's an excellent fake and will fool everyone?
• tell them the truth anyway?
• mock them for asking?
• some other action/reply?

I guess most people on here are choosing the"Mock" option. I purchased from on-line, I'm not a counterfeiter nor is this some kind of conspiracy or "test" as some say. I'm just learning and I realize I have to live and learn. Gotta take the good with the bad. As for the genuine opinions I thank you!

Hello everyone, once again I have a question that may seem a little trivia to you well seasoned coin collectors. I have recently purchased an 1888s Morgan For a steal I might add, I am wondering if any of you think it is worth sending in for grading? I do know this is a key date and mint mark but will it be more valuable if i get it graded? i apologize I'm pretty new at all this. I have attached two photos of the coin. I personally think its in great shape but the person who sent it to me sent it with another coin in the envelope and it cause a few new scratches (ugh) please give me some advice on the best way to move forward. (what would you do?) 

thank you for your assistance Greenstang. I truly appreciate it! More questions to come...

Let me start by saying Thank you to all who assist!!!

I have been collecting for roughly 3 months and I have acquired what I believe to be a Double Die 1934 Peace Dollar. It has minor damage on the side of the coin as if someone threw it against a wall, leaving a flat mark. Does a coin like this need to be graded or is it a waste of time due to the damage??? Thank you again for any feed back I may recieve!
