+iBrew Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I made a trade for a coin and the owner said that it was not activate. Well when I got it and tried to activate it I found out it already was activated. Anyone know if it's possible to transfer ownership of coins? Quote Link to comment
+Spencersb Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Yes, you can "adopt" it if you or the current owner have the "TBxxxx" number. You do it just like adopting a cache. Quote Link to comment

+Spencersb Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 (edited) You mean the activation code not the tracking number right? No, I mean the ID number that was assigned to it when it was activated. Should start with a TB and be 6 alphanumeric digits log. Look on the coin's page and you'll see something like this: Owner: Xxxx Xxx Released: Saturday, December 10, 2004 Origin: Somewhere, United States Use TBxxxx to reference this travel bug.

+iBrew Posted December 11, 2005 Author Share Posted December 11, 2005 Just curious is the person you traded with the owner of the listing?It seems odd they fogot they activated it. Looking back at our correspondence for this trade, I realize that it was never mentioned one way or the other. I guess it's my fault for assuming that it was unactivated. Here's the direct quote from the other party seeking the trade: "We are new to coin collecting and to this site. We are looking to trade our extra Green Subscriber coin for a Benchmark coin.

+raritan Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Can a geocoin be adopted if the previous owner has put it into their collection? I purchased an activated coin. Can't seem to get the ownership corrected. Thanks. Quote Link to comment

If it's not activated, simply hand it to them... 1 Quote Link to comment
+Smittengranny Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 When trying to transfer a coin, the "send request now" button will not light up so that I can press it. Does anyone have any suggestions please? Quote Link to comment

It was not lit up when I clicked it to send the request. 1 Quote Link to comment
