+Nathan_328 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I bought the Magellan Police Badge Geocoin awhile back. I went to activate it and I cant. I have e-mailed support with no replies. The code is all letters, and I was just wondering if this is hindering my activation. Any advice would be great! Quote Link to comment
Team Macha Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 You have the activation code and the coin code right? If you have them both and are typing them in correctly I don't know why it wouldn't work???? Quote Link to comment
+knoffer Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Try copying and pasting your coin and activation code. If that doesn't work then maybe the site is having a problem? Quote Link to comment
+Nathan_328 Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 I'm trying to get the code from oakcoins.com so I go to activate the coin, type in my E-mail and the coin code and then the page says to contact support because it isnt in the database. The coin is still on their website being sold. Hopefully the staff at oakcoins.com will respond shortly and help fix the problem. Quote Link to comment
Not So Lost Puppies Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 That usually means that the set of activation codes to go along with the tracking numbers hasn't been fully loaded into their database yet. Quote Link to comment
+Northbound Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Do you have any zero's or oh's on the tags? I'm not certain of this, but I think the activation codes have Oh's only (no zero's), and the tracking numbers have Zero's only. Plus of course the other alpha-numeric numbers. ..Northbound (www.northboundtradingcompany.com) Quote Link to comment

Those have been out for awhile too. It would be nice if the codes were entered BEFORE the coins are shipped. Quote Link to comment
+swimmrguy Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 lam having the same problem with the Tommy Trojan coin. I got an activation code. I wrote it down, but when I tried to activate it, it didn't work. I thought I wrote it correctly. However, it only let me retrieve it once. When I tried to retrieve it again from oakcoins, I got the not in database error. I emailed support too. Hope I hear from them soon. Quote Link to comment

Can't get an activation code and yes I have entered the tracking code correctly. Maybe it is a Christmas thing . Andrew Quote Link to comment

The code is all letters, and I was just wondering if this is hindering my activation. Any advice would be great! I'm having the same problem with the same coin. At first I thought someone has mistyped their tracking # and got the activation code to my coin. Like you I emailed Support at Oakcoins and will have to wait for a reply. They are good about replying, just not very fast about it!! Quote Link to comment
oakcoins Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Short Answer: They are now updated. Long Answer: Our website went down about a week or two ago. We moved to a new site and some items didn't move over correctly. Hopefully our new site is more stable. Quote Link to comment

I know I'm typing it in correctly, but it still is not found edit : the minter put 0 on the coin instead of Q they are working on getting it fixed Is this the same with all of the GGA 2006 Coin? I purchased mine off of ebay a couple weeks ago, and I ca'nt get the activation code on the Oakcoins site. Quote Link to comment
+1hogdog Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I bought a bunch of coins from the geocoinfest and a few of them (both from OakCoins) gave me an error when I tried getting the "Activation Code". The error said that the code has been previously retrieved, so it will not give me the code. I have sent three emails to OakCoins and have not heard back from them.... My question is, does anyone out there have a list of previous used Activation Codes, such as "muggle" or "geocoin". I have tried both of these and they did not work, but OakCoins seems to reuse the same Activation Codes over and over, so if someone else out there has a few more codes I could try, I would greatly appreciate it..... 1hogdog - premium member since 2011.
