+BubbaM Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I found a coin that is not recognized on www.geocaching.com, and which I cannot seem to activate. Can anyone help? I've been caching about a year and a half. Last month I was on vacation and found a "Yorkshire Day August 1, 2009" large geocoin. It has a white flower on one side, and a map of the British Yorkshires on the back, along with a "track at geocaching.com" notice and a personalized tracking number (10 digits, including a dash). I have tried every permutation of the number and it is not recognized by this site, and I've tried all the activiation sites I know of -- no one recognizes it. The coin appears sllightly worn -- enough so that it is hard to beleive that it has never been activated. Anyone have any ideas? BubbaM Michigan, USA THANKS. Quote Link to comment
TheCacheSeeker Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) Try posting this in the geocoin forum. Geocoin forum People there know more about geocoins. Edited July 17, 2011 by TheCacheSeeker Quote Link to comment
+hydnsek Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 ...a "Yorkshire Day August 1, 2009" large geocoin. It has a white flower on one side, and a map of the British Yorkshires on the back, along with a "track at geocaching.com" notice and a personalized tracking number (10 digits, including a dash). Tracking numbers on gc.com are six characters, so the full number is definitely not it. Is the first or last part (before or after the dash) six characters, and have you tried that? Have you looked on the coin edge to make sure there's not another tracking number there (sometimes they are on the side, altho not usually when there's another number on the face). Sounds weird, since it does say 'trackable at geocaching.com,' but I bet the coin forum folks will know right away. Good luck! Quote Link to comment

+BubbaM Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 Thanks all. Yes -- the posted photos are the coin. I am going to try entering just the first 6 digits, and not the numbers after the dash and see what happens. BubbaM Southfield, Michigan, USA Quote Link to comment
