I recently came across a fun collection of mine from when I first got into the hobby. These were all picked from rolls when roll searching. All were messed up in some special way where I didn't want to release them back into the wild.

A lot of damage, verdigris, corroded coins, BB Gunned, and coated (goldish and silverish) coins.

What is/was the coin above the one you have labeled as bowl shaped?

Interesting group showing various forms of damage nonetheless.

Yes, 3rd one down is an IHC.
The one above the bowl shaped one appears to have been grinded/sanded on the obverse side and is a normal LMC reverse on the other side. Unfortunately I forgot the pics for some of the coins obverse sides.

The 73 looks to be a slight MAD.
