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

Check the Peace overlays and you'll see where the obv impression came from. Nice catch. Maddieclashes.com Peace Roy

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

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
