This penny has a few areas of interest to me. The first might be a small strike through on the cheek,Then a blob ( die chip) in the top portion of the 9,Finally a line inside the top portion of the 5. Thanks for any advice.

Definitely nailed it on the die chip in the 9, I think the line in the top of the 5 could be from a Die crack, die gouge - sometimes it is just an extra piece of copper that gets wedged in and then worn.
On the cheek I think that is from taking a hit. I am not the best at strike through's but as you know many more will be here to help.

Probably a die chip also in the 5. A crack would have gone over the top of the device. The mark on the jaw is a continuing coin scratch from the fields. (it is the same direction as seen in the image) Reverse: it has a slight Grease Fill in the EPU on the 'E PLURIBUS' area
