Trackable with no tracking number?

[+Blueflashlight]

I found a Cape Hatteras Lighthouse benchmark geocoin today, but the spot where the tracking number should be is blank. Anyone know what is going on here? The coating on the coin is uninterrupted, so it hasn't been physically removed. I am relatively new to the hobby, so any help I can get would be great.

Hi! I don't know the specifics of your coin, however when I have coins made the sample / proof is correct in every way except that no tracking code is engraved. Perhaps you have a sample / prototype coin...

 

Cordially,

Hogwild Stuff makes those coins and as a legacy some people receive a version that does not have a tracking number. I and others sometimes leave those as swag.

Thanks for the responses. I have already decided that I want to collect these addictive things. I'm so glad there is such a great, active and friendly forum to answer my questions. Thanks for making me feel welcome!

Congrats on your find.

 

Are you sure you want to keep it ?

 

You may want to drop it and runnnnnnnnn before you get stuck in the geocoin world.
