Doubled Portrait

Pulled this from change. Does this occur similarly to mechanical doubling, where the dies are mis-aligned resulting in the dies bouncing and sliding across the planchet surface? Only one I ever found in the wild

That's due to the strike, believe it or not.
Looks like George ran into the fry pan, just saying
That is an interesting find.... One I would keep if found in change. Cheers, RickO
Nice looking MDD.
Looks like Washington has a cowlick.

I don't think that's doubling. That is inside the regular portrait, isn't it?
Yes it’s definitely inside of the main portrait. Any idea how this could have happened?
To me, that does not appear to be doubling. I agree that its inside the portrait, maybe some type of strike-through or pmd?

I think maybe double struck in collar. The rim near the date looks weird too.

Thanks everyone for your responses. I’m still a bit baffled as to how this occurred. I don’t think it was PMD as it looks as made. There are no scratches or tooling lines around that area
Looks a lot like the ejection doubling I found on this half https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/1062126/help-me-understand-this-face-error-1994-p-kennedy-half-dollar

@FredWeinberg , is this also a form of extreme machine doubling. Your opinion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Yes, based upon the photos, it appears to be a nice example of extreme machine/mechanical
Doubling, and a minor MAD
Thank you for your insight.
Yeah—@FredWeinberg — thank you.
I bought this on eBay a while back.
@Fraz very similar to the one I posted. If I can ask, what was it advertised as, when you bought it, and what do you think it’s value is? Nice coin too!
He called it a triple strike double die or something similarly uninformed. I paid around $15.00 counting on seller ignorance and figuring it was a nice machine-double—no idea how they value.
Did these appear close in time to each other?
Well they look very similar. I would think they were struck around the same time and possibly from same dies. Yours looks stronger
