Is this a double strike error?

[Bertman]

Found this 1920 "P" Walker recently and after zooming in from the picture I've taken, see doubling of "Half Dollar" on the reverse.

Here is the T-Net link for pics of the obverse and reverse of the coin:

Thanks in advance for any information...

Sorry, but that appears to be mechanical doubling.

Thanks for the information enamel7... Is that a common issue? I'll also search the web to see what mechanical doubling is...
