Why due those Spanish coins always look bent? Or is it just the toning that gives it that look?

thanks for comments everyone.....

keyser the half reales are only bout half the thickness of a dime...240 years of dodging the plow odds are sooner or later contact will be made..ya this one was pretty waffled...i did my best to press it straighter.. i included side pics compared to a dime to give you an idea just how thin they are...[attachment 324260 IMG_20151216_0843376361.jpg][attachment 324261 IMG_20151216_0844045451.jpg][attachment 324262 IMG_20151216_085058801_HDR1.jpg]
