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.

Affirmative I guess that would be it then. This one is difficult to photograph.
I will get one on here.I admit its hard to see but its there really.

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...

To keep you appraised of the situation when I take a pic of it in its entirety, you can't see it. So sorry unable to get that done. Thank you !

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!!!
