1923s Peace dollar

found this odd-looking spike above the Eagle's shoulder (red arrows are pointing at the odd spike)
any idea what caused the spike?

That is a die clash mark.

Not uncommon on Peace dollars

You may have one of the many variations of a1923-S VAM-1K. Here is an example of one of them.

had to review the coin three times to make sure i was seeing that die clash correctly cause the coin has many dings and such on it so wanted to make sure it wasn't PMD
