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.

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
