I found these pennies that are different in size. The little one is regular size ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1446617668.134772.jpg

Could they be errors?

Those appear to be what are known as "Texas cents". They were hammered, possibly between two pieces of leather, to remove the copper plating. These aren't errors from the mint.
