Looks like a die chip. Can you get a closer image of the 9? And here is the CCF Free Image Optimizer to help crop your images. Please preview your post/pictures to be sure they are rotated correctly.

Yup its a die chip in the 9 and also a die chip in the bottom of the R in liberty very common for that date. Next time try cropping all the stuff out but the coin and rotate it right side up  Like this

Actually when the die chips, the metal breaks away from the die, leaving a void that is not formed. The chip is showing the void as a negative leaving a raised area on the coins. This void can get larger as the die crumbles away or remain the same until the die is retired.
