Off-center strikes and misaligned die errors continue to be produced up to the present day, although their magnitude and frequency has been reduced.

The ones with the distorted rims edges I'm guessing they are broadstruck or partial collar stikes. The collar keeps the coin round and some of these look like that was missing or just a partial collar on ones with an edge appearing to be bent. It happens. When these are noticed, they are pulled. When not, we get them.

One other thing of note...these errors occur during the striking process...not the hubbing. So the 'squeeze' you are referring to is not what makes these. As Mike said, these things are possible now, and I have seen many, but not nearly in the amounts I had seen on earlier coinage.

The 68s definitely looks like a broadstrike to me.I have about 100 bs coins of various dates and sizes.
