Is this 1937 an error or has someone messed with this coin? It's also thinner than normal.

I also have several of these. What causes this?
Based on the rim damage, it looks like it was pressed into one of those encased cent tokens.

Both were damaged after the left the mint. The 1937 was pressed and something like a piece of leather was used to protect the obverse. Sometimes called a Texas cent (but many times both sides are visible
The 1954D was in a Lucky Coin/Advertising holder at one time.
Your 1954-D was removed from an encasement. The 1937 was probably placed face down on a railroad track atop a piece of leather. Both PMD.
One of these things?
Yes.
I agree with the assessments above. Those coins that were in the holders occasionally appear in change and look like an error coin to some. We have seen them here quite often. Cheers, RickO
