Bent Circulated proof Kennedy's 0o ?!
I had a dealer walk up to me with two Kennedy half dollars that appeared to be bent. The strikes looked nice on both, obv and rev, but the rim was funky. I took some photographs, have a look .

Since there is no known minting process that can generate a bent coin that is otherwise normal-looking, I would have to conclude that the bending occurred after the strike. In other words, not an error.
