One of them is a doubled die.
Sirs, I am trying to learn from you expert how to distinguish an error on different type of coins, I am asking because I want to know if this coins has a doubling or whatever it might be. If you will help, I appreciate it, Thanks!
The coin in your first photo is a doubled die obverse (DDO) variety. There is more than one DDO variety known for 2019 cents.
Your coin looks similar to the two listed on VarietyVista:

It would also be worth checking the listings on doubleddie.com:

The response from @IkesT above is correct but possibly doesn't connect the dots as clearly as you need.
Your original question is fundamentally misguided in a way that we see from basically every new poster. Collectible varieties such as doubling are caused by errors on the die itself. Every coin struck from that die will show the same features EXACTLY.
That means there is never a need to "distinguish" anything, and trying to "distinguish" is one of the fastest ways to get an incorrect result.
The proper way to identify a variety is to compare your coin to a confirmed example of the variety. This is where we circle back to the response from @IkesT. If your coin matches a listing on VarietyVista EXACTLY, then you have that variety. If it doesn't match EXACTLY, then you don't.
Unlike horseshoes and hand grenades, close does not count. It either matches EXACTLY, or it doesn't.
