The top one is damaged from contact with something after it was minted. Even though it has never been spent, it can still go through a lot of contact with machines and other coins before it enters circulation. Transporting, bagging, counting, rolling, and other processes can put marks on a coin that has never been in circulation.

If the second coin is only blank on one side, it was ground and smoothed  by someone, possibly as the beginning of a love token or something similar.
