No,I don't think so. Looks like a Dryer Coin or maybe acid.

Another vote for Dryer Coin. Either way, it's PMD, I can't see this being a mint error.

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?

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.

Even if this coin is called a ripple coin, the coin is in such worn state it's only worth about face value.
