Looks to me like a normal cent that spent some time in a corrosive situation - Coca-Cola, salty slush in the Canadian winter, metal-detector find in acidic soil.

Give it a good acetone bath to see the surface better.

I have been collecting wrong planchet Canadian errors for many, many years. I can't remember the last time I saw a legit wrong planchet error on a scruffy, off color looking planchet such as this one. To me, it looks as though it was exposed to harsh environmental conditions or acid that caused this appearance and weigh loss.
