I've been roll searching Kennedy Halfs recently, I found a Kennedy half that has a very large buldge protruding from each side in the very same spot as if something was in between the layers in the middle...

Is this a common error? If so whats the type of error(terminology)?
Is it worth anything? I'd be happy to get $10 for it hehe...

Just judging by the description, it sounds like there's a huge bubble of gas or corrosion happening at the clad boundary. Need to see a pic to be sure.

I agree. The coin more then likely went thru a fire...or an oven

It's still worth a dollar but I'm sure someone would pay a premium for it since it is kinda a rarity in circulation

Could be just inflation.

It's a fire coin. These don't happen at the mint.
