+2bugs Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I added 100 more coins to my list of available coins. Part of the process is to check and see if they are activated. I have 2 Portland 2006, both unactivated. On the trackales search page, I entered the first coin # and up pops the screen that tells you your Portland coin is not activated, do you want to activate it now. On the second Portland coin, the resulting screen tells me my "Bad Andy" coin is not activated. It is a Portland, not a Bad Andy. I have double, triple checked the coin number, enter, re entered, had my wife read the code and enter the data, all with the resulting Bad Andy message. Any ideas on how I can fix this? or should I just sell the set and tell people one is a problem coin? Quote Link to comment

Maine Family Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 It worked for me to and I am so thankful. Thank you to the ones who fixed it. Quote Link to comment
GregsonVaux Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I will add that it seems to only let you retrieve three codes each hour. I retrieved three and it told me I had reached my limit. I waited an hour and then retrieved another three before the message appeared again. Fortunately I only have three more coins to go. Quote Link to comment
