thingee Pillar of the Community United States 2177 Posts	Posted 10/01/2007 7:31 pm I read about this type of error and how it came to be but I am not able to recall where and I don't remember how this error happened. The only thing I do remember is that it's called bow-type error or something like that. Does anyone know about this kind of error? I found this in a circulated bank roll.

thingee Pillar of the Community United States 2177 Posts	Posted 10/02/2007 11:24 pm Yes. Biochemist. That was the kind of bowtie I read about a while ago. And when I found this bow-shaped-tie design penny that's what came to mind. That real bow time thing is pretty cool. How can someone make the type that I found. CC said glue. But how?

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 10/03/2007 12:32 am Any material that is viscous and coats the coin - usually glue. A blow torch or any other surface damaging chemical, heat, or exposure...then the glue is removed, exposing an untouched portion of surface without damage. Done. Simple. Report this Post to the Staff
