ANSWER: This is an extreme case of ejection doubling. The characteristic is common on 1932-D 25c coins. I first learned of "Ejection Doubling" from Mint technicians when one expert authenticator at the time was gathering up these genuine coins from dealers for the OIN counterfeit collection. He thought they were added mintmarks.
Most examples are not this spread. The action of shifting the metal often leaves a "seam-like" cut at the base of on side of the mintmark that makes it look to be unattached to the coins surface. Thus, it looks to be added and fooled many folks. in the 1970's.

Interesting. I've heard the adage about 32-D quarters that "if it looks added, it's real," but I haven't ever studied them. I went looking through PCGS TrueViews just now for a coin like this and finally found one here. Seeing more of the coin would definitely corroborate the ejection doubling, as you see it all over.
