+chaos02 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I was given about a dozen PA Geocoins. They have not been activated and the website listed on the package does not exist. Can these be activated anywhere else? Thanks Cache On Quote Link to comment

Don't post anything that could be tracking numbers. Did you try several of the coins? Some letters and numbers are confusing (O and 0, 1 and I, etc.). Would you mind posting a photo of the coins (without numbers in view?). Do you know who "PA" is? If, for example, it's a coin from Pennsylvania, it may be very familiar on sight. Ask in the Help Center. Some coins have number problems. Quote Link to comment

+kunarion Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) Well that simplifies things! It's not trackable on Geocaching.com. That's why you can't get the numbers to work. I don't know about the coin's site. Seems to be down. The last snapshot I see on archive.org is from about 2103. By 2014, the coin's site was gone. So you have a collector's item!
