I'm guessing the last 5 or 6 images are the second coin. This one demonstrates known, common features among Morgans - die cracking and a broken-die chip inside the 2 (a weak point in the die due to the small size of the feature).
The first coin is a rather striking machine double, I think - to the best of my knowledge no such radical die doubling is known for 1921. I've seen the level of Machine Doubling on 1921-S before:
The "tails" noted on date and letters are known artifacts of die wear, especially prominent on 1921-S.
