Grading mint error coin

I just sent in a 29-S 5C which looks like a good shot at MS-65b ut it has what
looks like a fine incuse line across the back of the reverse. Line is about 1/8 inch
long and doesn't have raised edges. Light toning goes across the line evenly.
To my untrained eye it looks like a mint error where something lays across the
die before striking (like a piece of string). I wish I had taken a photo before
submitting the coin.
My question is, how will the PCGS regard this. Will they see it as detracting from
the grade?

You might want to look at PCGS's Coin Grading and Counterfeit Detection guide. Unfortunately, most of the obverse and reverse areas of Buffalo Nickels are critical areas.
