+Cav Scout Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 (edited) A long time ago before geocoins was as popular as they are now, there was a website made by the mighty Team Fisur . Here you could keep track of the lastest geocoins (wood, metal, plastic, clay, etc.) Looking at the sight you could keep track of who made what coins. Looking at the web sight I estimate that my coin was (maybe) number 20-23 of the first metal geocoins ever made. Here's a challenge to you... Where does your metal personal geocoin rank? This is only for what order your metal coins was made and not used as judging the looks or designs of geocoins . So lets be nice please. Edited August 11, 2007 by Cav Scout Quote
+avroair Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Didn't Fisur add coins when he found out about them, not postthem in order of when they were minted? Namely he has Team Fisur #1 then Moun10Bike #2... Quote
+Cav Scout Posted August 11, 2007 Author Posted August 11, 2007 Thats correct., but for it's time (the websight), the site was updated weekly and it was the best way to keep track of what was new for period. Later, as we all know, other websites came along that kept track of coins similar to how team fisur did (when they found out). Quote
FISUR Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Here's a challenge to you... Where does your metal personal geocoin rank? This is only for what order your metal coins was made and not used as judging the looks or designs of geocoins . So lets be nice please. Team FISUR ranking: Around 5 We started placing Team FISUR geocoins in caches on October 19, 2002. (There were 100, and they're all gone.) Cache on, Team FISUR Quote
+Pepper Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 (edited) Somewhere around the 10 or 11ish for me : ) (speaking of metal only) correct me if wrong...I just bet somebody out there knows the order, if it really matters? I to enjoyed hte FISUR site and used it all the time...his website was the go to web site for coins and siggies. Pepper Edited August 11, 2007 by Pepper Quote
Jake - Team A.I. Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 The FISUR site was one of the first sites I referenced on my page. I still keep it there as a historical reference for a list of some of the hardest coins to get now days. Quote
+Cav Scout Posted August 12, 2007 Author Posted August 12, 2007 I enjoyed the site as well .

FISUR Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 We would like to thank everyone for their kind words about our Geocoin Designs page (which is part of our Rhode Island Geocaching site). As other more sophisticated geocoin sites developed, there was no longer a need to continue the weekly updates. But it was fun while it lasted. Back on topic, here is what we believe are the first metal personal geocoins, in an approximate order: Moun10Bike (definitely #1) waypoint15 DHOBBY1 Indy Diver Team FISUR (placed at the top of the list on our Geocoins Designs page because, well, it's our page ) Wanderingdragon GeoNap Vacman Dos Leos (homemade) SquareD22 (homemade) Conejo Cachers (is this a personal one?) Pepper GD's Geocoin (aka: The Mystery Geocoin) (could be higher on the list) blazerfan Haber Cache Tokens Any tweaking of the list order would be appreciated. Hope this helps. Team FISUR Quote
+Theseus Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 Well my personal is in the final samples stage so I think that ranks me around 4,417 (counting different metals as different coins). I'm basing this on www.geocoincollection.com showing 4282 in their database (which is likely nearly but not totally complete) and the expectation that 100+ new coins will come out before mine do.

+AtlantaGal Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 In my humble our coin ranks #1 LMAO! I think yours is actually #2 tho. Koh-Koh's coin is definitely #1 Quote
+Dr. Whoever Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 If you are referring to the PC number then My Castle Man 2007 is # 1418 Quote
+4BOWS Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 Don't know what number ranking our first geocoin was, but as far as we know, our coin was the last non-trackable (iconless) coin that was allowed to be pre-sold on these forums. Quote
Son of Cyclops Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 (edited) I think this a a little better: Moun10Bike (definitely #1) DHOBBY1 waypoint15 Indy Diver Team FISUR GD mystery coins Wanderingdragon GeoNap Vacman Dos Leos (homemade) SquareD22 (homemade) Conejo Cachers Pepper blazerfan Haber Cache Tokens This is just my idea and I do know Moun10Bikes and Dhobby1 were in production around the same time and the GD's are made around a little after Moun10Bike Edited August 13, 2007 by Son of Cyclops Quote
+BelKen Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 Ours was the first one in Australia I believe. May actually still be the only one as far as I know. Quote
+Cheesy pigs Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 Ours was the first one in Australia I believe. May actually still be the only one as far as I know. And what a lovely coin it is I dont know of any others, but we might have to change that one day (when we have some 'spare' cash! I already know who I want it designed by Quote
+9Key Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 Kind of a vague thread topic since almost no one besides the people on the Fisur site knows where their coin might be ranked in historical order. Cav Scout - do you have a good place for people to go to check the order of their coin's minting or are you mearly pointing the mirror at yourself? Quote
+Cav Scout Posted August 13, 2007 Author Posted August 13, 2007 I've been told there is a book/catalog/list of some sort being made that documents all of the coins that have been made so far. Anyone know of this? Quote

Team FISUR Anyone have dates attached to these? Also, the USA Oregon and Texas state coins should be up there, not personals but worthy of a mention. Quote
+Shop99er Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 My first coin came out around 6/2005 Fisur, any clue where that ranks it? I know I wasn't too far behind blazerfan. Quote

I would have swore you were older than 3 Fun topic, it got me looking back into the history of the trading thread. Team Shydog V1 coin was offered for trade on page 10, June 27, 2005. Boy those were the fun days! (Sounding really old now, must go to bed) Chris-Team Shydog Quote
