Any idea what happened with these? The 1973 coin doesn't show it, but it looks like the edge was fed back into a machine to raise the edge as the reeding is almost completely smoothed over. The 1996 may have been crushed somehow (imprint of another half and bent) and is it a thin planchet to cause the 2000 coin?

Help!

your 96 is exactly what you think it is. a coin that took a hit After it left the mint so it is worth .50 cents the 2000 is a strike through probably grease also worth 50 cents and on your 73 I don't see anything out of the ordinary. if the reverse also has that off center look then it may be off center if not then it is just something that happens. look at 9 out of 10 coins from the 90's to present and you will see the same thing also no premium
hope that helps

here's the sideview of the 1973: Help-Me-With-These-Kennedy-Halves

A grease strike? Say what? So a blob of grease was on a planchet and so the die couldn't meet the metal so well? The reverse is great. Wouldn't the reverse be similarly struck if there was grease involved?

I'll get a micrometer on the year 2000 coin. I can't believe it'd be from grease. The areas where there is lacking lettering are very much lower than the rim on the obverse which indicates a thinner planchet. If this is so, would it mean anything significant?

How does one know if damage occured in the mint or outside? Of course a coin could be stuck somewhere in the machines and spit out. This is in reference to the 1996 one, but also, in a way, the 1973 which appears as though it got fed back into another machine after it got stamped.
