The left one is unmolested. The other two have been squished.

Have you considered trying to flatten out the lumpy one a little bit in an effort to even out the force before attempting to shrink it again?
what does that do to the properties of the metal? I guess it improved the compressive strength, but what about the tensile strength? or the shear strength. how about durability? are the coins more brittle?
so many questions.

It is just bending the metal... The volume stays constant (smaller diameter, increased thickness). Its abrupt, but more or less room temperature, it might work harden the metal but I don't think it has much effect metalurgically.
We did a peso (I think) four times, and nothing happened. It wasn't conductive enough.
We did an old arcade point token. It was really soft aluminum, and basicly turned into an almond. Its at work. I'll attempt to remember to bring it home and get a picture.
