1941 penny PMD or die error?

I have found a 1941 Lincoln penny with a strange curly “9” on the bottom rim. Also the “E Pluribus” on the reverse is light and a die gouge underneath. Help I don’t know what I’m doing yet. TIA

Obverse..
The upraised rim took a hit pushing the metal upwards into the field.

DEFDAM - Definitely Damaged post Mint

Reverse..
Circulation wear and tear.

That's not a Die Gouge. A Die Gouge would show raised on the coin.

 

Thank you!
