    Can you take a pic of the whole reverse coin
    That does not look like a "spike" which would be a die crack.
    It looks to me like a linear plating blister.

          Definitely looks like a blister. If it were a crack the design would be missing.

            Here's my 1995-P with a considerable crack on the reverse as well...from the "f" in "of" down to the "e' in "cent".

            Don't think that reverse die made it much longer!

                  Found a 1993 LC with what I think is a similar 'long bubble' to yours, Mike. Goes thru the end of "America", FG, and on...

                      That's OK
                      you can see with Franks coin the similar look.
                      yours is a linear plating bubble not a die crack or spike.

                        It does appear to be a linear plating bubble... The early frankenzincs are notorious for plating problems!!!
