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
thanks for the info I had no idea what that was as errors are not my cup of tea so to speak

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

Nice catch... These faint die clashes often go unnoticed....Cheers, RickO
nice catch as well
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
