I agree. It is no error, just a regular worn coin.

Ok do you think the bar bit under the RI is longer than normal and is an error?

(See below Pic)

I also own the coin and have nicknamed it 'my 1898 headless man' UK penny coin. Can you see the headless man in the below photo?

I think at best what you have is two coins struck by different dies, and/or die states.
The coins you are showing have a fair bit of wear and stuff on them.
They may be errors, but I think not.
If you like them then by all means keep them but I know of no premium or added value
from what you are showing.
