+Six Little Spookies Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I've started collecting the version 1 Geocoin Nerds (the non-trackable ones) and am wondering how daunting of a task this will be. I've got 9 different versions so far, but I know there's a lot more of them. I've got: orangUcool: orange, BN Renegade; black, shiny gold sweetlife: dark purple, shiny gold Mama Cache: red glitter, nickel Avroair: light orange, BN Ble68: green glitter, BN SOC: teal glitter, BN CC: blue glitter, BN CC: purple glitter, BN So if you had one made or know of someone who did, speak up! Let's see if we can complete the list! Quote Link to comment
+keewee Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 There should be a thread somewhere where it was organised. I think after a certain point it was taken to a Yahoo group, but if you hunt down the original thread you'll find out who the organiser was and they should be able to provide an authoritative list. I think I know who it was, but won't say in case I am wrong. Quote Link to comment
+keewee Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 (edited) tadpole379 was the organiser. There were 25 cachers/teams as group members, and together we produced a total of 1,670 coins in 63 different color/metal combinations Here is a link to the trading thread for the first Geocoin Nerds. I'm not sure where the thread for their development went. (Maybe it was removed due to the non-trackable nature of them?) Oh and here is the thread for Geocoin Nerds v2 Edited April 10, 2011 by keewee Quote Link to comment
avroair Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I only remember a trading thread: Here The project was orchestrated by Tadpole379, maybe you could contact her and see how many versions there were. Quote Link to comment
+ElliPirelli Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I have a few of these cute little nerds. Would be cool, if a similar project would be done now, I'd be definitely interested... Quote Link to comment

+tadpole379 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 There were a lot of versions of the nerds made. There were 2 separate mintings, the original was just the nontrackable version, and the second minting people could order the original version and/or the trackable version. Some people who had been in the first group ordered more of their original color the second time around, some ordered a new color, and then there were people who were new to nerds that placed an order. I know that there are v1 nerds in the same color with different names engraved on them (people shared an order). I have a lot in my personal collection but I;m pretty sure I don't have them all. Here is a pic of a bunch of them.. Quote Link to comment
+Six Little Spookies Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 Thanks for the links everybody, they were very insightful. Collecting them all will be a challenge, but what good is life if you don't have some goals to challenge you! I'll work those other threads over and see how complete a list I can come up with. There's only 63 different combos in the first minting! In the meantime, if you have some Nerds, help out by posting the color, metal and name on them. I haven't seen any totals for the second minting so that maybe the only way to find them all. And, if you have any for sale or trade, shoot me an email! Quote Link to comment

+redwingrr Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I was gifted one marked Solan109/SE. It's an odd yellow with a slight green tinge and fine glitter. Quote Link to comment
+Six Little Spookies Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 I have found 74 different versions of version 1 Nerds by scouring the threads and a few other sites. I'm sure there are more. I'll post the list in a day or two as soon as I figure out how to sort it and then you all can correct my mistakes! Quote Link to comment
RedShoesGirl Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 i have one, gold metal with teal glitter, signed Laval k-9. you may have that for your collection. drop me an email. Quote Link to comment
+Six Little Spookies Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 It's been more than a few days but I've got The List. It has 74 different name, color, and metal combinations! I complied this list from scouring threads and looking at photos, and a few other websites. Some Nerds may be missing, if you know of them, speak up! [] I want this to be as complete as possible. By the same token, if you see I've got one on here you know doesn't exist, let me know. Sometimes our cameras don't take very good photos of coins and the colors and metals look off. If you have any Nerds for sale or trade let me know. At this point I'm interested in all of them even if I already have one of that name/color/metal combo! As my collection grows I'll periodically update the list with those I've gotten, so everyone can watch it grow with me!

+Six Little Spookies Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 I have an extra red glitter one, do you have that one? What name is on it? The only red glitter nerd I have now is a blemished Mama Cache, so yes, I am interested! Quote Link to comment

+Six Little Spookies Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 I have now discovered over 100 color/metal/name combinations for the Version 1 Nerds! I will post the new list when I can figure out how to make it into a readable table. There are still some nerds that were reminted in the 2nd minting where I'm questioning whether they are actually the same as their 1st minting counterparts (issues concerning glitter vs. non-glitter, mostly). Also a few combinations were 1- and 2-shots so finding them is highly unlikely. I figure there will end up being around 90 different Nerds to collect. I've now got 23 different ones, so I'm about 1/4 of the way there! Keep those emails coming, I can't do it without all of you! Quote Link to comment

+Six Little Spookies Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 The Revenge marches on! Watch the collection grow with me. Here's all the Nerds so far: I will trade or buy any Nerds, even ones I already have! Quote Link to comment
+Six Little Spookies Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 It's been almost a year since my last post in this thread, but I haven't stopped collecting Nerds since then. Last fall I started collecting the trackable version 2s to my collection as well. Both collections are progressing nicely, with over 65 version 1 Nerds and 25 version 2 Nerds. Take a look! And how about a 90 Nerd Rainbow! As a special Thank You, everyone who gifted, traded or sold me any Nerds should be finding something special in their mailbox shortly. I couldn't have gotten this far without you! I've posted a list of the Nerds I'm still looking for on my profile if anyone wants to see which ones are still missing. Quote Link to comment
