+moparots Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Hello all, I have never posted in the coin forum, I thought this would be a good place. My Brother in law who is new to caching, found a coin on vacation and while showing it to me back here in Florida, we noticed the tracking # had been scratched off completely. I just wanted to place this log on the forums to see if I could find the owner and get the # and place it back into circulation. Its in a new plastic sleeve with a small card that has spaces for coin name, number, and code. All Blank. On the card is a Hog Logo and the words hogwildstuff.org About the coin: The front is the "Steelers" emblem in yellow, green, and orange, with white PAGA letters. The words "Pittsburgh Area Geocaching Association" around the edge, also "wwwpaga.com" On the back: The words "Turn Left Where"? and on bottom "West End Circle, Pittsburgh Pa." The graphic is alot of arrows with interstate and state road road # signs. Anyhow I thought someone from the Pittsburgh area may see this thread and know who the owner was. Thanks, Moparots Quote Link to comment
+Crowesfeat30 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Could be a mint error coin. CF30 Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Probably an error coin put out as swag. Quote Link to comment
+ngrrfan Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 (edited) I have a coin like that.... I drilled it a bit and added a TB tag to it. Indeed it is a mint error coin, usually the code is wrong or can't be read so it gets scratched out. Edited September 29, 2010 by ngrrfan Quote Link to comment
+moparots Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 I suppose, because the # is not accidently scratched, it is very intentionaly scratched out. Quote Link to comment
+Eartha Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 There was a thread about this very question a little while ago. When someone has coins made and they end up with errors, or duplicate numbers, sometimes they will scratch out the number and leave it as untrackable swag. You should trade up, trade even, or don't trade at all for it. But that certainly doesn't mean one should scratch a number off another coin to make the trade! :laughing: Quote Link to comment
