These coins were in the news recently without an image. Can you tell why? Can you identify something very similar on any other coins?
I'll pick the easy one:
1.) 1937-D 5c.

Yes, 2019 "Floating Head" cent. What caused this? Any evidence left on the coin? Other coins like it?
A bit more than “a bit” of polishing of the die.
Evidence is the polishing lines which can be seen with some zooming.
A similar effect is the Monticello’s floating top on the reverse of the nickel.
I think someone ran out of elbow grease polishing that die.
Does this fall into your question as an answer?
Edit: how bout this
