I know blockr.io works for First Bits lookups of addresses that have had a transaction, but probably won't find the addresses if they've never been funded.

You will probably have to contact the person who sold you the coins to get the full addresses. It might get trickier if they're not the first owners, but whoever bought them new should have the full addresses. If that doesn't work, contact user "smoothie" on here, as he is Lealana, or the maker of Lealana coins.

figures, i thought that might be the case.. i wonder if smoothie still has the addresses from 2013- i hope so!
thanx Smiley

i found this thread on bitcointalk: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/lealana-physical-bitcoins-999-fine-silver-gold-plated-coins-315440
maybe you can ask the OP, or in that thread.

but you can not find a bitcoin address just by having the 8 first characters, that is for sure.

Quote
The 8-character code you see on the outside of the coin is the first eight characters of the Bitcoin address assigned specifically to that coin.  You can verify the coin's balance on Block Explorer.  There is a mathematical relationship between the Bitcoin address and the private key inside the coin. The digital bitcoin is actually located on the public "block chain" stored on the internet, but it is completely inaccessible to anyone unless the private key from the coin is loaded into a Bitcoin wallet.
