Was curious if anyone has ever seen an error similar to the one I found on this 1969 no mint penny?

What do you think the error is exactly? The last 9 is just damage on the stem. Possibly from going in an old fashioned Gumball Machine. The lack of a mint mark just means it was minted in Philadelphia.

But there is no damage to it around the second nine and also the loop on the second one is smaller than the first one

Damage from a Gumball Machine mechanism would only affect the outside nine.

to the CCF!

I see why you ask this question. It appears too straight of a line.a better picture would be great. So I can use it as a refrence.
