Yeah--what's up with the '73? Was something struck into the coin that fell out? The 1982 is very interesting too. That extra loop in the 2 doesn't look like post-mint damage to me--die gouge perhaps? I enlarged a detail for a quicker view:
Post mint damage. More than likely occurred in a "coin star counter" or similar machine. The metal from the top of the 2 digit has been sliced off and deposited and pushed into the 2's upper curve, giving it the appearance of doubling.
