   The lump below the "9" is a die chip, which is quite common on coins of this era, especially cents. They generally have no numismatic value.

Die cracks are generally very thin, wandering ribbons.

Ignore this.  Swing and miss again on a topic about die chips.

A die chip if from when a small piece of a metal die breaks off.  Then when a coin is struck the planchet metal flows into the void of the die left by the chip, creating a raised area on a coin.  When a larger piece of a die breaks off near and including a rim they are called "cuds".

Wile this is not an exhaustive list, this should get you started.

O-109a: There is now a sharp crack that has developed from edge through star 1 to eye which extends to star 9 then to edge. This crack came later than the reverse cracks previously mentioned and this late state with the obverse die crack is RARE. Another crack from edge at start of first crack below star 1 to top of date.

Reverse-50 C. is 1 3/4 mm. Arrow to A is 1/2 mm. Besides the two crossbars into right wing, all crossbars over run the border line of shield. Milling is very light to none at all. Left side of T and right side of I are in line. Most specimens show fine die cracks. One from feathers at right of shield to claws crosses leaves and tip of wing, to join a crack from edge that curves under UNI. Another crack through NITED STA and along top of scroll, to field between AMER and wing.

I think your off-topic posts like these trying to promote your shady Etsy/eBay raw coin flipping are becoming very disruptive to people like the OP actually trying to learn, and I wish @Administrator would do something about that.

I think you can start with going through the Red Book and looking up any terms you don't know in the glossary in the back, or the excellent NGC Glossary that Powermad linked.  You can also check out the following topics ...
