Here are the contemporary engraving art I'm aware of:
Buffalo Nickels = Hobo Nickels
Trade Dollars = Potty Dollars
Flying Eagle Cents = Flying Anatomies
Are there any others?

VULGAR REVERSE Large Cents?
Yep... I have a vulgar cent... very well done.... I have not seen any others beyond the OP and the cent. Cheers, RickO
Instead of the "flying phallus", there is this G-rated "nesting bird"

In addition to Trade Dollars, I have seen Seated Liberty coins made into 'potty coins.'
A quick google search will provide some examples;

I own a few potty hotties and some vulgar coins - they are a serious interest of mine. We thought our Civil War ancestors were such straight lacers - who knew? Obviously they had lots of time to apply their "skills" to innocent coins.
A customer of mine collects the Vulgar cents by date. i do not know where he is in the endeavor but he had a good number of them i know BC i sold him abt a dozen different dated ones over the past 5 years, the earliest 1807!
It is strange how many of these turn up. Some very well done, and others crude.
I have one of the vulgar cents. Got it from someone here on the forums years ago. It's an 1842.
I have a Franklin somewhere with very crudely reworked hair- kind of rastafari
