Denver West Mint?

unbrok3n

There is a beautiful coin on ebay I want to buy..but it is slabbed in a "denver west mint" case. Is this something I should avoid at all costs?

If you can return it there is nothing to avoid.

There is an old thread about them.

I'd link it but my browser won't do the search.
If your browser works do a search.

If it's pretending to be a legitimate TPG, I'd avoid it like the plague.
If it's simply a dealer's company name and a fancy 2x2, then I'd consider it if I liked it.

Here's the coin.
The listing says nothing about them trying to make the company sound legitimate...but it still seems a little fishy.

I think the coin is well-done...as in cooked until it was well done.

Another coin killed...er...enhanced...
