+blb9556 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 The title says it all. I got this coin from a cache and is not listed (Used trackable lookup) It is a Geocoin Chicks of MWGB coin and looks like a greenish blue duck. Any help is appreciated. Quote Link to comment

The MWGB chicks, little duck geocoins did not have either. Don't know what to saw about a tracking number on a slip of paper...sounds like something that someone added. Quote Link to comment

No trackable at GC.com and engraved code is in format * ** 5. *= letter Quote Link to comment
CLAMM Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 It might be the caching name and a sequential number. For instance we had CLAMMxx engraved on ours.. Quote Link to comment

D'ja trade fairly for it?? Typically if it doesn't say trackable anywhere on it it's not, nowhere nohow. If it is trackable it should say where it can be tracked. Quote Link to comment
+Deliveryguy428 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Then you found a coin that is not activated and if it is trackable then you can trace it back to what company produced it and get the code from them to either activate it or just keep it for a personal collection. Quote Link to comment

The "chick" that was found was one of ours...engraved with "I am 5"...this was not a tracking number, but is, instead a personalization of the coin (since our daughter turned 5 at MWGB last year). We've been dropping them off in caches since we still have plenty left. The coin is definately non-trackable (cannot be activated)...and the paper in it was the little Hogwild slip that they place in the flips. Quote Link to comment
