BOWTIE ERRORS
Malaysia Bunga Raya Series 20 Cents With Bowtie Errors.
Rarity:RRRR
Actually it is a form Planchet Errors but also included to be Striking Errors. It acquires high premium and desirability.
Bowtie is simply a piece of already punched metal strip that happens to find its way into the coining presses.They are roughly looked like Bowtie shaped,hence the name.
According to Nucoins,the mainstream numismatics labels 'bowties' since they appear or
look like bowties. If they don't, they would be appropriately labelled
as 'fragments'. Struck web pieces would be categorised under striking
error while those unstruck would be under planchet error.
