Fellow Error and Variety Collectors
If we ever intend on registering a domain name we
may want to choose a name that is not registered yet.
I just searched at internic.com in the "whois"
database and only www.cevca.com is still
available. If you choose CEVCA [Canadian Errors
and Varieties Collectors Assoc.]
I suggest the name be registered as soon as possible.
http://cheapdomains.com/ has a list of cheap
domain name registers. Godaddy.com is also inexpensive.

Hello Everyone
I want to apologize for taking over a week before sending an update.
I have been trying to verify the email address
for a number of people who expressed interest
during the founding meeting at the CAN
convention. That is taking a little longer than
I had thought; I am still working on 11 names.
Not including these names, our list consists of approximately 30 members.
Well what happened at the meeting.
I am very happy to report that there were
approximately 22 people in attendance. Bill
English gave an informative presentation on
minting errors and their causes. There seemed to
be a number of very interested people. After the
presentation there was show and tell session,
where a number of very interesting error coins
were passed around for interested parties to
view. Bill has a very comprehensive collection
of planchet punching errors. Fascinating!
Following this we had an open discussion with
respect to interest in forming an Error and
Varieties association. I want to say the feedback was a unanimous YES!
There was a great deal of excitement expressed.
A number of very positive and interesting ideas were discussed.
We talked about the format of the club; either
land based or virtual. The overwhelming majority
of the feedback indicated an informal, virtual
club based on a mailing list type approach would
satisfy the greatest number of people. A number
of people mentioned successful clubs that are
using that effectively. Some names (the names
are not necessarily accurate) I captured;
Bi-Metalic Collector?s Club, Cuban Numis.
Assoc., Elongated Collectors Intl, and Numis.
Bibliomania Soc.. I have researched some of these.
There was also general interest in a regular
(not sure of the frequency yet) eNewsletter. We
discussed a Club website that could be used to
collect and distribute knowledge to the
membership. An archive area might be available
for discussion digests and the newsletters. We
talked about trying to share/collect information from the CCRS site as well.
There was interest express in collecting
specific ?databases?, one such idea was to
collect the statistics (weight, size, alloy) on
all planchet types used at the RCM for both
local and foreign coins. This would be very
useful in attributing wrong planchet strikes. An
extension to this would be to include known examples with images.
These are all very exciting ideas? and there is
much more that can be accomplished as well.
Let?s not start out too aggressive though. I
would suggest starting with this mailing list
and then grow into a website when we have enough
material to make it worthwhile. The only thing
that can prevent us from our goal of a
successful association is lack of interest or a
lack of contribution. The way to our success is
from membership contribution, there is a vast
knowledge base that we can build on and grow. In
my opinion no contribution is too small. I
welcome your feedback. I believe we should start
thinking about and collecting articles for our
first newsletter as soon as possible.
The first order business as I see it is to
decide on a name for our association. There have
been a few ideas put forth in response to a questionnaire I distributed.
* CEVA [Canadian Errors and Varieties Assoc.]
* CEVCA [Canadian Errors and Varieties Collectors Assoc.]
* EVEA [Errors and Varieties Enthusiasts Assoc.]
* CCEVA [Canadian Coin Error and Varieties Assoc.]
* CCIA [Canadian Coin Irregularities Assoc.]
I know that naming can be a very subjective and
personal thing. There was a very long discussion
in the Newfoundland club meeting on this
subject. In order to try and avoid this long
debate I would propose that we choose a name
from the above list and ask for your feedback.
I would like to propose the name ?Canadian
Errors and Varieties Association? or CEVA which
seems to represent the essence of what the
members are interested in. It is short, concise
and versatile. Depending on the level of
feedback I would like to limit this discussion
to no later to next Friday, August 4th, and have
the name officially announced on (or
before) Saturday August 5th so we can move on to more details.
I would like to thank everyone for their continued support.
