Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2524 Posts	Posted 08/06/2015 11:58 am Another vote for Dryer Coin. Either way, it's PMD, I can't see this being a mint error. Report this Post to the Staff
RainEdey Valued Member United States 101 Posts	Posted 08/06/2015 6:40 pm I went to a coin store and they told me it was rippled that a lot of Canadian coins are. I wasn't sure Report this Post to the Staff

timnic44 Pillar of the Community Canada 535 Posts	Posted 08/07/2015 4:55 pm On the Coins and Canada website they show rippled coin errors. I am not sure what to believe. Everyone on here seems to automatically call them PMD or Dryer Coins. So is the C&C site wrong or does a rippled coin error actually exist? Report this Post to the Staff

Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5405 Posts	Posted 08/08/2015 10:52 pm Yup just like ripple chips exist. this featured piece is a PMD special in my opinion as well. Report this Post to the Staff
Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2524 Posts	Posted 08/09/2015 04:14 am The rippled coin examples in C&C looks like it's either struck through something or acid etched. Perhaps an error expert can chime in. So far I've only seen "rippled coin" mentioned in C&C and Zoell catalogues. It's not there on error-ref. timnic, it's not that we here automatically calls them PMD or Dryer Coins, but mistaking acid etched or Dryer Coins for rippled coins is not rare from what I searched through the forum.
