My little group of acid damaged coins. One of the Canadian sites calls these "Rippled" cents:

I have one that looks just like yours...it is very rippled.
I never considered it could be acid dipped--interesting!

I have a U.S. cent with the same effect and when I first began collecting I posted it
in one of the forums and the consensus was "acid dipped". On the coins and canada site,
they have this listed in their error section. Perhaps there are other reasons for these
coins having this rippled look to them. I'm just going by what a couple of experts told
me.

Here's the link to cac's site. #30 is the rippled coin:
