Just opened some new golden harvest pint jars and every lid is like this. Package was sealed, has been sitting on our caning shelf for a couple months. Is it defective? We don't have the receipt since it's been months since we bought the case. Hate to waste but I don't want food going bad on the shelf.

Yes it is defective and I would advise against using it as it most likely would affect the seal. With that kind of damage, it probably would not seal at all and if it did, it would probably fail soon after.
Why would you return a set of jars over the lids? I’d certainly email the company and see if they’d replace the lids, but the jars should be fine unless they’re chipped. Are the rings also dented?
