Would anyone else here happen to have this info?? I haven’t been able to contact LightningBugs after several replies & the PM I sent hasn’t been read yet. I bet LB has the info they said they had & I’d like to let them help me, since they went through the trouble of finding it.

But I’m also starting a large series of Ammo-Can caches within days, in which I was going to leave some unactivated coins as FTF prizes. But I want to make SURE the coins can actually be activated, referably by supplying the finder with the activation code with the coin.

So I really need to find out about this coin very soon. Thanks a million in advance for anyone who can help.

It was just a 3rd-party person who bought a big batch of coins & split them up for sale. So he wouldn’t know anything about the activation codes. I think he DID check them thru geocaching.com, because they are unactivated coins. But as far as going to the length to gather activation codes and/or sites…he didn’t.

But that’s okay. They were cheap & at least 1/2 of them are what I would consider VERY pretty coins. And 8 of them are definitely ready to be activated. Just have these 2 that I’m working on. Hopefully they will get all worked out.

If not, it was still a good transaction.

Yeah, I just received confirmation frm the person who designed that coin that OakCoins was the source….but it doesn’t work. Evidently, all I can figure out is that an activation code HAS been retrieved on this coin, but was never used.

OakCoins does specify that if the code has already been retrieved, another CAN’T be. Personally, I feel this is unhandy & easily corrected through simple computing code. The way it is now, if the initial code is lost, it’s impossible to EVER activate the coin. Seems like it would be better to just make it so a second code COULD be retrieved, and then when actually activated, that first code would be rendered obsolete

But I have sent an e-mail to OakCoins to see if they can help me out. Hopefully they can, or I just have a pretty & useless paperweight.

So that one is solved I think…just waiting on the hoped-for help I need to get it activated. Hopefully someone here can help me on the Wisconsin coin. If it’s hosted at OakCoins also, then I already know what the deal is on it….same as the Triple Wisdom one…..a code has been previously retrieved, but never used.

But I’ll have to wait for someone to confirm where that coin is hosted at before I go further. Thanks.
