Yes that could be a bit of copper-colored crud or a small die chip.

Looks like a small die chip giving it the appearance of being a closed 9.

All the Lincoln cents on the 9&6 are open devices. None of the cents should be closed. If they are it is from either coin damage or die damage. Other denominations do have closed devices on the 9&6.
